Ash Canyon Part VI

Today, the House Finch. While these photos were taken at Ash Canyon, they could have easily have been from the Azure Gate.  The range of the House Finch is essentially all of the continental US and Mexico. Most of you will be familiar with the House Finch since it likes both urban and suburban areas. It eats grains, seeds, berries, and whatever insects might be on those food substances. They readily take to bird feeders, both seed and grain. Ours prefer the thistle feed we give our Goldfinches, but they also eat from our other feeders along with the sparrows. Here then are photos from Ash Canyon:
