Regarding the bird information I posted yesterday, asking for your help,
there is now a photo online that you can view.
The general consensus seems to be either a Western Tanager juvenile, or
second spring House Finch. I considered both of these, but rejected the first
mainly because we've not yet seen any adult tanagers, the bill seems to me
more finch-like, and he is definitely streaked, but no black. I rejected the
second because we often have house finches who visit the pokers, and this
little guy is bigger. Still, I admit it could be ... I would appreciate any
comments, questions and opinions. See the photo at:
