    Sunflower Snack

    There are a lot of house finches (Haemorhous mexicanus) around right now. The males seem especially bright this year — richer reds than I remember, though maybe that’s just me. This guy grabbed a sunflower seed and settled in. House finches are grazers; when they come to a feeder, they stay and eat. Other birds, like chickadees and woodpeckers, are snatchers — they grab a seed and fly off to a nearby tree to eat it. It’s an interesting contrast in feeding styles.

    Step into a world where even the smallest moments—like the glint in a bird's eye—tell their own story.

    The house finch came to supervise.

    Apparently the way to summon a house finch is to start sketching them badly and they will come to correct you.

    He sang a lovely song for me. I'm pretty sure it was all cuss words but they were pretty cuss words.

    I haven't seen any migrants at the feeders. The flock of American goldfinches in our yard sing all day. The males are molting into their summer feathers. The females are not as brightly colored, but I think this very pale goldfinch may be leucistic. The downy woodpeckers are chasing each other around the yard and the house finches are numerous and colorful. #birds #birding #birdsofmastodon #birdphotography #nature #HoosierMast #goldfinches #woodpecker #housefinch #leucism
