House Finch
The House Finch (Scientific name - Carpodacus mexicanus) is a bird found throughout most of North America. It was first reported in 1941 in the Eastern U.S. and is believed to have originated from the illegal bird trade.
Males display red on their head and chest and have a streaked underbelly. Females do not have the red and are mostly brown streaked.
