Greetings everone,
This has turned into a real interesting discussion. I don't know whether
everone is able to see all of it, or even if I am, but wow I had know idea. I
explained in my origional post on the Redpoll about my origional intent for
going to Bong SRA last Sunday. I had a hard time finding the Redpolls, and
because of the bright sunlight I started photographing anything with red/purple
color. It turns out that I got the House Finch and its orange (I think)
variant. And also the 3 real red Finches. At first I took them as Pine Grosbeak
because of the large beak, no side striping, and the red coloring (from old
Petersons Field Guide). I didn't notice the squinting eye difference. But then
I thought I had them all corrected to Fouse Finches, but..... You can see all
the Finch photos that were taken that day at:

The other House Finches do look like normal House Finches. Except for the
missing dark side stripes, the darker red coloring, and the large bill, the
ohter 3 do too.These also have wings that appear to have been carved from wood,
and upper white leg stockings.
An interesting discussion.
