I'm a year-round resident in Georgia, as well as most other places in the East, but I'm originally from the west. I came to Long Island in the 1940's and was illegally sold as a "Hollywood Finch" and decided I liked it so much on the East coast that I would spread out and populate. I have a bright red face and breast, unless I'm not getting a very good diet, then I can be yellowish. My mate is brown and heavily streaked. We love to spend time together and with our friends, frequently dining at your feeders together. I also have a lot to say when I'm at a feeder and have a cheerful song to sing. Do you know what kind of
finch I am?
