Our new bird feeder (not yet filled) | Photo by Jonathan Blundell
We put up a bird feeder this spring as part of our annual landscaping re-do and we’ve really enjoyed watching the various birds that come and go throughout the day (usually in the evening).
This morning I spotted a new bird – a Purple Finch I believe.
Any other theories on what type of bird it might be?

It COULD be a Cassin’s Finch, which looks almost exactly like a purple finch, except with a bit more brown around the back collar, which this little cutie seems to have.
OR it could be a House Finch, which looks almost exactly like the purple finch and the Cassin’s finch, except with even a bit MORE brown here and there.
I’ve had a few people suggest a House Finch… Purple Finch was my first guess.
I’m testing a new spam/comment feature.
