Birds at Feeders: House Finch and Hairy Woodpecker

 

 

 

The male house finch was looking so so colorful that we thought for a minute it might be a purple finch. A quick check of our bird guide showed he is the house finch at the nyjer feeder with a less colorful female.

The hairy woodpecker has not been around much this year. Today he came when the suet feeder was empty but found some crumbs. He may not have wanted his photo taken since he stuck his tongue out at us.
