hello. i'm new to this newsletter so if im doing this wrong someone tell
me? (smile).I am also new to birding so any help you can give me is
appreciated. birds ive identified in? my yard this week, PINE SISKIN,
SCRUB JAYS, MOUNTAIN CHICKADEES, BLACK CAPPED CHICKADEES,PURPLE FINCHES OR
CASSIN FINCHES, OR HOUSE FINCHES (HAHA) CANT FIGURE THAT OUT YET.
CHESTNUTBACKED CHICKADEES, I EVEN GOT PICTURES, AND THE USUAL STELLARS.
AND CROWS AND RAVENS. many other little ones that i cant identify. im
having a hard time with the finches. but one i cant seen to get a good
picture of is a finch i? think, screamingly brilliant orangy reddish pink?
chest he wont come close enogh for me to get, and he flies away before i
can get close. the best i have gotten is thru a window? . anyways thanks
for the info I enjoy reading about everyones finds. and I know mine are
probably regular birds, but i still love looking at them? thanks again.
