Look, if all I can do right now is post a photo of a house finch demolishing a dandelion, then I'm going to post a photo of a house finch demolishing a dandelion.

You're welcome for my service.

Another one from the archives. This Blue Jay, one of a nearby nest that had several babies last summer, sits perched on a rain gutter, looking like they're just over it (whatever "it" was...maybe their yelly demanding fledglings).

I have a pair of white-crowned sparrows hanging out in my yard right now. Can't recall seeing them hang out in my yard before.

This little beauty had me fooled today. His deep and expansive red colouring had me thinking I had a purple finch gracing my backyard, but on closer scrutiny he's almost certainly a house finch.

I do love my neighbourhood house finches of course, I just can't remember ever seeing them with such intense colouring before!
