Ira has his regular rosy-finches; this morning we saw our first one in our 18 years here! It came in just after 8 am, stayed possibly 5 minutes, flew off and hasn't showed any loyalty at all since then. Maybe tomorrow.
We peg it as an Interior form, with a yellowish bill, which apparently rosy-finches have in winter. Compared with the House Finches, the bill looks huge!

We have our usual complement of feeder birds, although we've seen only 3 turkeys this morning. Mtn & Bl-capped Chickadees, W-b & Pygmy Nuthatches, Hairy WP, flicker, House Finches, American Goldfinches & Pine Siskins. One Song & one Am. Tree Sparrow. A Townsend's Solitaire seems fond of our berry[cone]-laden juniper. So do the robins.
