Description
I think that this is a sparrow?? He and his friends, descend on our bird feeder, chase any other small bird away, argue amongst themselves, shovel half of the seed onto the ground (to the delight of the squirrels), and otherwise behave in a naughty manner. However they look cute, in as much as any small fluffy thing looks cute.Related content

It is a House Finch. I have a lot of Purple Finches (same family) during the summer and they have a nice behavior.
Beautiful shot!

By popular vote, he's got to be a house finch. I'm a believer! Perhaps these finches behave badly because there's so many of them. Glad that you liked the photo!

Lol... my husband is saying "He's a bird, he doesn't care what we call him". I'm calling him a finch. Glad you liked the photo!

Oh yeah. I would bet money that is a house finch. It has that big ole' finch beak that always seem to have a bit of food stuck to it. haha.
Great capture! That blur of the snow covered needles in the background makes it look really pretty.

I'm now convinced that it's a house finch, and I noticed that a lot of them had food stuck to their beaks. Thanks for the compliment ....glad you like the picture!

Thanks for the ID! Some of the birds like this one had the reddish heads & back, but there were also all brown ones which I assumed to be female. Glad you liked the photo!
