Having a well-stocked bird feeder while the ground is covered in snow is paying dividends by attracting more birds. During the week, Deana spotted a house finch. This morning, the kids and I were able to confirm it, spotting two males. They look a lot like sparrows, but the male finches have red throats and chests. We will have to keep on the lookout for the female finches which will be harder to distinguish from the sparrows.
