>Interestingly, although we get a lot of House Finches brought in, we
haven't received a yellow-orange one for several years (since 1991, in
fact). Have they disappeared from local populations? Anyone have any
of these dull males at your feeder?<

I had at least one yellowish house finch at my feeders this past
winter. It was very noticable among the red house finches. In Illinois
I saw several yellowish house finches. Perhaps the food sources in the
MidWest lend to a more yellowish house finch.
