Carpodacus mexicanus: House Finch


Another of the feeder birds. We get these guys in droves... OK, not as many House Finches as Sparrows, but quite a few on a regular basis.

We get two finches in our yard -- these guys and the Goldfinches, and their diets are apparently different. The House Finches like crack... er... black oil sunflower seed, and the Goldfinches are mostly about nyjer thistle.
