These terrific images of the birds in your backyard have me wishing that I had a place of my own so that I could both watch and photograph these smaller birds!
Thank you Jerry! I have watched videos of professional photographers using seeds to attack birds for them to photograph. You may want to try that one of these days.
Great shots, Hien. Same bird? No way to tell, right? 😉 (I stared at these photos… the second one, somehow, looks a little different, but it would be the light…)
Have a wonderful day.

Looks like a cold day and the House finch is puffed up a bit to keep warm, nice image.

The soft, cool light is very nice with the warm reds of the House finch’s feathers.

This is another bird that is native to North America. That’s why you have never seen them.

House Finches originate from the West and slowly migrated to the Eastern part of the US, but not to Florida.

We don’t see these as much as we used to, since they got that disease. Yours look nice and healthy!

We are lucky to have had quite a few House Finches come to the bird feeder over the past 10 years. Maybe they are the survivors of that eye disease.

They do resemble Purple Finches, which are slightly larger. The male Purple Finches have a raspberry red color on their back also.

Love them! That first one looks like he is the king of his domain. (Or queen? Sorry, don’t know one from the other.) 😊

These are all male House Finches. The female ones are brown overall, without any red.
