Blog Post #9400: House Finches

 This male house finch kindly posed for my Nikon. The rest of today’s pictures were automatically taken with the Birdfy feeder cam.



Male and Female


This last shot was taken on a snow day. You can see why it’s easy to confuse the house finch with a purple finch. I’m not positive about this last one, except that house finches are very common here in Virginia and can be seen year-round.
