Yep, it looks like a young house finch to me but I have been wrong many times. House finches are very brave, especially the young ones. It will catch on about its protection in time.<BR/><BR/>I wish I could see that video and hear the laughter!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040099513110890878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728987043673829071.post-2283183678183826632007-08-08T08:40:00.000-07:002007-08-08T08:40:00.000-07:00That does appear to be a female House Finch.
