Description
Digitaleagle mentioned that I should begin seeing juveniles showing up at my feeder soon. I think that is what I've got here. This photo was taken 2-3 mornings ago...just prior to my Safflower seed discovery.
I think these are one of several kinds of common sparrows in the area. Does anybody have a better handle on what we're looking at here?
This group, although four in number here, has been arriving as a flight of five.
CHANGE 1. Digitaleagle helped me out again:-) These are House Finches. I have seen a male with them although he is not here at this time. The male has red on the front of his head and bib and rump.
Thanks for looking,
Bill:)

The two in the middle look really young. I think you got most of the family. Great shot!!!!!!!!
Ooooooooh yeah.... I've got so many juvenile sparrows that they all gobble it up before papa redbird and my little chickadees can get a fair share! Nice shot Bill. :)
Nice capture Bill!
Great family capture. I hope everyone zoomed in on "mom's" watchful eye. Dana
Bill, I think what you have here are 2 adult and 2 juvy House Finchs the males will have red heads excellent capture to catch them all 4 together!! Here they take off as soon as I step out on the porch; useing Tara sneak factor number system, 10 LOL.
a bunch of bird droppings?just joking. I personally respect the little sparrows because they are not intimidated by much larger birds.superb shot
beautiful capture.
how cute a little on stage act the do and you captured them so well, Bill
How lovely to have a family visit. A beautiful capture.
A really lovely scene Bill. They are gorgeous.
you know I studied bird songs, but I don't know a physical bird from another bird. So I always learn when you identify them for us. This is a wonderful shot, with the 'kids' spread out looking around the way kids do, and one of them pretty much chowing down. Nice spread of the birds, and I love how one of them is looking over the ledge with tilted head, as if to say, "whoa, we're up pretty high!" I like that you got them on the bottom third of the shot, and that bowl—that big bright orange bowl?—It's a great accent in every shot. Don't know if you chose it for that color, but it's been in a lot of your shots, and I for one am really glad: It adds a real punch! Really nice work once more, in angle and postures, and glad you're still posting these. (I'll stop here for now—god I still haven't caught up! But I get a good bunch everytime! Congratulations on 400! See you next time, which I hope will be sooner than this one!)
