Well, that's a #finch of a different color!
A lesser #goldfinch and a #housefinch are both visiting the #birdfeeder.
One of MANY house finches I heard before turning a corner and seeing them.
This weekend, try to observe as many wild plants and animals in your neighborhood as you can, especially in urban areas.
Here are some #birds I spotted on a late afternoon walk today, including a sparrow, one of many many finches, two doves, and what I think might be two blackbirds (yes, including the gray one).

I lost count of how many finches I saw
A pair of finches perched on a cable across the street from the other pair I photographed.
This house #finch is clearly in Engineering. “I’m giving her all the power I can, Cap’n!”

Two finches spotted in the empty greenbelt below a line of transmission towers. They’re several meters apart, though I took the photos from the same spot on the sidewalk, and the female chased a sparrow away when she landed.
Also you can really see the difference between the “look at me!” coloring on the male finch and the camouflage coloring on the female.

Some more house finches and a hummingbird. Hummingbirds always look weird to me when they’re perched.

I must have seen over a dozen house finches on a very short walk today. I assume there’s a nest or several in the area.

Finally recovered enough from the flu to get out for a walk in the neighborhood (while that’s still an option).
I think this first bird (possibly a goldfinch?) was trying to practice social distancing, though the crow in the third photo seems to be doing a better job. The house finch was such a bright red that I thought it had to be another kind of bird until I looked at the photos.
