Field Notes

Description:

This pair of little finches was working low-cut grass and weeds in a country town church cemetery. Both have a typical banded black and white tail and orange bill but the male also has orange cheek patches and an area of tan with white spots on it's sides.

Habitat:

Open country grassy field in winter.

Notes:

Apparently this species pairs up for life.... sweet! A common pet species around the world but It is good to see them wild and in their original range.
