1:00 AM – Retro-Sunday!!! – This one from Friday 10.6.2017.
2:17 AM – Another bird identification problem. I think this is an unusually colored House Finch. The Cornell Labs website had an image of one that looks like this – the yellow markings on the breast and back, but no vivid stripe near the eyes. The beak is the right shape, and the tail is slightly notched – both features of the House Finch. Also, he was in the company of a pretty standard female Finch. If anyone has a better guess, I’d like to hear it. In the meantime, here are some videos. This is the first time this bird has been here, hopefully not the last time.
Another video of that probably House Finch on the Squirrel Buster feeder. He stands up to a Cardinal that tries to run him off.
