Field Notes

Habitat:

Neighborhood with large yards, many trees and shrubs.

Notes:

I also found "Spinus tristis" for the scientific name, but I don't know which name is currently correct.
And as most of us know... these little darlings absolutely love a good sock feeder filled with thistle seed.
