| pelletory Marlton, NJ April 8, 2008 | Hi fleurone, Heres some info on them. [HYPERLINK@www.birds.cornell.edu] |
| fleurone Brooksville, FL Zone 9a April 8, 2008 | Thank you Resin and Pelletory, I thought some kind of Finch but it is the first time I have seen them here . Pelletory, great site, is the purple shading on the map where they are supposed to be?, as Florida is not shaded. |
| pelletory Marlton, NJ April 8, 2008 | In the past they were considered exotics in Fla. Their main range is north of there. |
| fleurone Brooksville, FL Zone 9a April 8, 2008 | oh wow that is brilliant, I will keep watching them. They seem to particularly like going into the cypress trees by the door and on that corner of the roof where I took the photo of them. Thank you so much for your help :) |
| OPbirder Orchard Park, NY April 10, 2008 | They thrive in my area of Western NY. They especially like nesting in wreaths on front doors, and hanging baskets! Babies hatch and leave very quickly - a couple weeks. |
| fleurone Brooksville, FL Zone 9a May 5, 2008 | Sadly something destroyed the nest with the eggs. I think it was a local black snake who also robbed anoter nest in our pineapple palms :(
