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. |

In the past they were considered exotics in Fla. Their main range is north of there. |

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 :) |

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. |

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 :(
