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:)

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. :)

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!)
