Notes from the Station

Meet the birds we study in our landbird banding program at Coyote Creek Field Station

House Finch

Picture

Species: House Finch
Most recent capture date: 6/15/2022
Age: at least one year old
Sex: male

Notes: There has been some cool research on the differences between House Finch color morphs (red vs. orange vs. yellow). I read that research before I had seen any orange or yellow morphs in the wild; when I eventually came to California, I was excited to finally meet these other shades of finch.
