I always find it interesting this time of the year. The immature finches show such a variation in color. Some tend toward grey brown, others tend very slightly toward olive brown. Some are "brown" brown and others are quite buffy and a very few have a faint rosiness to the throat. Numbers have been on the increase in the past week. And I feel sorry for the poor goldfinches who have to look so scruffy now. A red-breasted nuthatch has been regular at feeder for several weeks. First time this has happened in several years. Now if I could only discourage the rock doves who have suddenly discovered the feeders.
