The bird of the month - House Finch (Cassin's Finch)

 -House Finches are the most common feeder bird in Colorado. In the mountains, it may be replaced by it's close relative, the Cassin’s Finch.

-House finches LOVE sunflower. They will also eat Nyjer (thistle) and safflower; but will not eat insects, suet, or any other non-seed food

-Most male House Finches have a red face and chest but some may be yellow or orange. This may be due to diet, genetics, or a nutrient shortage
during the last molt. The redder a male House Finch is, the more attractive females find him.

-Listen for a high-pitched, sweet warbling and trilling that lasts about 4-5 seconds and a “sweet?” call. Finches may start singing as early as January.

-Finches will not use a nesting box but will nest on a nesting shelf or other covered shelf such as in a hanging flower basket or on under the eaves
of a house
