House Finch
Haemorhous mexicanus
House Finches live in open woodlands, deserts, suburbs, farms, and city neighborhoods across much of North America. They perch readily on trees, wires, feeders, and building edges, moving in quick flights between feeding and nesting spots. Their diet is dominated by seeds, buds, berries, and small fruits. A notable fact is that the male's red, orange, or yellow coloring comes from pigments gained through food rather than being fixed at one shade.
