Title: Another 2 from today
Post by: winz on August 25, 2016, 10:11:26 PM

These 2 were feeding in the same clump of Sumac and Berries.

1.  Rose-breasted Grosbeak?

2. House Finch or Purple Finch?

1. Yes, Rose-breasted Grosbeak
2. House Finch I think, the facial markings are too plain for Purple.

Thanks Thomas.  Yes, the facial markings aren't bolder white stripes.
