Spinus tristis
Adult males in spring and early summer are bright yellow with black forehead, black wings with white markings, and white patches both above and beneath the tail. Adult females are duller yellow beneath, olive above. Winter birds are drab, unstreaked brown, with blackish wings and two pale wing bars. - Cornell
I ran in and got my camera, and the two males had made their way to some feeders I have on the other side of the yard. The PVC feeder is an experiment to deter squirrels. So far, the finch is the first bird I've seen hang out on the feeder. The squirrels have not gotten to it at all.
