This is a female house finch. They are coming by the dozens every day to the feeders on the back porch.
We have also seen an evening grosbeak, very colourful. And a white-throated sparrow. The sparrows are bullies when it comes to the finches; they simply swoop in and push the finches aside.
We have also seen an American goldfinch. The Sibley Guide to Birds is invaluable in identifying these birds.
Home Hardware got their first shipment of nursery stuff yesterday; as I drove by to check, I could see they were unloading trees from the truck. I will go over today and check them out, even though this morning we are getting freezing rain! I am on the lookout for a ginkgo tree.
