Thought you'd like to see this little cutie!I love the Black Capped Chickadee!
There are definitely TWO kinds of finches withreddish coloring. The smaller ones with more color have
been here before. I looked them up and I believe
they are called 'House Finches'
Then these larger ones who came
today have less, but brighter color and their
beaks are thicker - 'Purple Finches'?
But, this 'little' visitor -hmm... I think is a 'Gold Crowned Sparrow'.
I've been studying my 'Birds of the Puget Sound Region' book :)
and having fun learning to identify the different species according
to their markings and subtleties.

I believe your little black capped is actually a chestnut backed chickadee Diane! Lucky you! :c) And the finches in the picture all look like house finches. The males have more red/purple on them. The actual "purple finch" is all raspberry colored with no brownish wings. There is a great web site called All About Birds (just Google it) and you can look up any bird to see the photos/facts etc. :c)
Oh Thank you, Jayne! I'll check out the site! You're great!
Came from Richard's blog (At the Water). Lovely shots - I like that birdfeeder that the chickadee is in!
