A female House Finch snatched a sunflower seed from the feeder and flew to join her younger ones on a branch of the magnolia tree. Curious as to why she would not eat it right away, I soon found out.

All happy now.

I’ve heard that adult birds lose a lot of weight bringing their babies up. I can see why- nice photos

These are some of the nicest House finch pictures I’ve seen – I love the way the background gives that cold, wintery feeling. I am amazed that a female is feeding a full grown male at this time of year! Crazy, no?

I wonderful series showing the adult feeding the youngster, but it seems awfully late in the season for her to still be feeding him. Although, I’ve seen cardinals feed their young all through the entire first winter for their young.

Jerry, I was surprised too. The House Finches appeared out of nowhere, and there were many of them. Like you I was surprised that parents were still feeding their children this late in the seasonn, but I am no expert on them.

Those shots of the three finches on that branch are just perfect. The magnolia buds just add to the charm.

Thanks Jim! In the wild, it can be even more difficult. That’s why birds migrate, if they can.
