Carpodacus mexicanus
In honor of Fathers' Day! An adult male finch feeding his demanding fledgling chick. I watched him get sunflower seeds from our bird feeder, carry them to the chick in a nearby tree, and put the food into its beak. I think he shelled them for the fledgling, too. It's so funny to see bird parents continuing to feed fledglings as big as themselves!
My yard. We've had several families of house finches this year, often coming to the feeder.
