  1. You have. . .ta da! . . a male house finch.
    From Wikipedia: Originally only a resident of Mexico and the southwestern United States, they were introduced to eastern North America in the 1940s. The birds were sold illegally in New York City as “Hollywood Finches”, a marketing artifice. To avoid prosecution under theMigratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, vendors and owners released the birds. They have become naturalized; in some unforested areas, they have displaced the native Purple Finch and nonnative House Sparrow.

  2. Thank you! They are noisy in a way I like, (and that drives the cats crazy) and now I have a bunch of them!

    Woohoo! Birds all over the place!
