House Finches enjoying bath in the backyard. Two short videos of female and male House finches and some Spring time captured sparrow images.

Today morning I had wonderful time watching female and male house finches bathing in the small clay pot saucer that I have placed in the  patio for birds to drink water. I  watched them from patio glass door. I could take few pictures and took a very short few seconds video as female juvenile house finches enjoyed  splashing water. Later one single male house finch came, took bath and flew away. Quickly one more thirsty male finch came to drink water.  Enjoy few sparrow  images and  two short videos of House finches.

Bikramjit, yes..red headed sparrow is not seen in India..we don't have such difference in color of male and female sparrows. Redish head and chest looks really beautiful. Thanks.

You are lucky to have these around you.
The common sparrow is no more common.

Haddock, Nice to see you. Currently these finches are hanging around home all the time...it is fun to observe them. I am surprised to know that common sparrow is no more common in India.

I remember reading your post on bird who built nest in your balcony...need to come back and see it again.

thanks for stopping by.
