Day 141: An Afternoon in the Barrow Backyard Bird Sanctuary…

A fun time with finches and doves…

I would say a female Lesser Goldfinch, but both my guides say this is well outside of its range.  So it is probably a female American Goldfinch.  It looks more like a Lesser to me…

The squirrels got the top off this feeder and pretty much emptied it.  This house finch went inside to clean it out…
