Yeah, but you're obviously good enough to tell a sparrow from a finch. My
apologies. A House Finch with yellow on its head should also have yellow
on its breast, something that didn't penetrate my mental fog when I wrote

But there's certainly no fog outside. A beautiful white snow/blue
sky/green conifer sort of day. Just don't step out into the wind.
