House Finch

Description:

Now abundant over much of North America. In some parts of East, may be competing with Purple Finches to the detriment of the latter.

Habitat:

Cities, suburbs, farms, canyons. Original habitat was probably streamside trees and brush in dry country, woodland edges, chaparral, other semi-open areas. Now most commonly associated with humans in cities, towns, and farmland, especially in areas with lawns, weedy areas, trees, buildings. Avoids unbroken forest or grassland.

Notes:

I believe this is a House Finch Male and Female. If I am wrong please feel free to correct me.
