Lesser American Gold Finch

Finches

Little American Finches, so pretty the little males are and plentiful, just like the RedPolls of North Pole, just as noisy.

House Finches

House Finchs of the Desert South West

They must have had a common ancestor with the Common Red Polls of the far north. Except for the beak differences the coloration is very much the same.

Upon first glance at this bird, I thought how similar to a Red Poll in coloration. There is subtle differences, but the beak is much heavier.

Birds of Winter

RedPolls 

It has been a winter of Redpolls here on the old Permafrost Ranch.  The feeders have been swarmed by them.  The speaker here in my squirrel hole is rocking all day long from their songs.  Having it up and running such does wonders for the spirit and soul.  You should stop by the streaming cam and have a listen for yourself.

Birds of Alaska

Common Redpoll

These little birds were strangely missing most of the winter from the feeder.  Just as we had are first major cold spell of this winter.  They returned to the feeders.  I'm glad they have returned, it keeps the viewers of the live stream listening and watching.

Common Redpoll

He's watching me watching him and it makes him nervous.  Dressed in the finest red hues, I would think that would make him more nervous in the woods.  Needless to say, it's what we boys do to impress the girls.  Remember, we are now streaming live 24 hours a day, stop in and see the cams 

Can you do this

Balance that on your nose I dare you

Bet you you can't do this at -40...neneer neneer neneer.
