House Finch (Male)

Susan, yes, the book I have makes comments about populations on the rise meaning increasing populations and some are getting harder to see by the professional and trained bird people, so those populations are marked as declining or extinct. I think that some scientists and rangers and department of wildlife people and park rangers count birds they find dead too, and some tag their legs to track them, and nest sightings and other ways to track and count populations of birds. Maybe this site will help track if people do good markings on their name labels, dates, times, and locations? Another beneficial effect of Project Noah.

Thanks. I did crop it a bit to try to show off the colors and the seed in the mouth.
