Sighting

At the feeder off and on all day was a yellow-phase House Finch. Very similar to figure 90 on Plate 32 in "Finches and Sparrows" by Peter Clement only more yellow on the forehead, and somewhat mottled breast. The rump is orangish-yellow. Also at the feeder today numerous Oregon Juncos, Spotted Towhees, White-crowned Sparrows.
