House Finch

The House Finch  are a very familiar bird.  They are a native of the west.  They do visit bird feeders, plus, often in flocks.  They hide their nest in dense trees, palms, vines on walls and hanging pots.
The male House Finch has a red eyebrow and forehead contrasting with brown cap. Throat and chest red, lower underparts whitish, with dark stripes on sides.  Some males have red replaced by orange or yellow.

DesertDale took this at our Borrego site.
