This was filmed in my backyard, which is in a fairly wooded neighborhood, although I wouldn't call it a woodland - more of a wooded suburbia. There were LOTS of birds and other wildlife vocalizing, but these birds were fairly quiet while foraging, so only a few of the sounds you hear in the video were from them. The time was 7am to 8am - about the time our birds are at their noisiest! :-)

Where was this recorded? In the woodland? And was the sound of the birds recorded in the morning?

[jcmegabyte]

The males show quite a bit of variation... I've seen them with colored head plumage ranging all the way from deep red through orange to yellow and occasionally with little or no color at all, so that they look more like the females. I get the feeling that the ones with more red are more mature and perhaps more attractive to the females, as I see more of the deep red ones nesting than the other colors.

whoa, the yellow one. Is that a mutation?

[jcmegabyte]

Thanks for watching! They definitely like to nest under eves and other sheltered places on and around human dwellings - perhaps why they call them "house" finches... Dunno, but I have a couple of spots where they nest several times every year and it's neat to watch them their families but they can be VERY noisy and messy too! :-)

House finches, eh? Been trying to figure out that name for a while.

There's a nest of them in a hanging plant on my porch. The mother still feeds them by mouth. The father shows up... when he feels like it. What a sight.

These are quite common birds in my area - the males have differet colored head plumage - yellow, orange or red. Thanks for watching :-)
