The storms here can be scary, for sure. Rain is predicted all week, so be
careful, everyone.
You got it! It’s a House Finch. I love seeing the orange ones! I’ve only seen a
couple of them during the hundreds/thousands of House Finches I’ve seen. Great
pics and thanks for sharing!

Hello, hope everyone survived the storms last night. I lived through
'Harvey" down in League City (aka south of Houston). So I've seen what 50
inches of rain can do and the storm that continued for 3 plus days. So the
last couple of storms here rival the wind that Hurricane Harvey brought us!
Geez it is a bit frightening for sure. Anyway on a good note before the
storm we saw this at our feeder. Was pale yellow through my binocular
however the pictures show a slight red in some of the feathers. I have never
seen one and I concluded it is a House Finch Variation...according to my Nat
Geo Field guide. Your thoughts?? Have you all seen one?

Greetings all:
The kind of rainfall we are getting now can make for an interesting
day along riparian corridors on the following morning. Probably not
so much in the way of migrant songbirds (though one never knows - some
stuff might have gotten started from the south before this blew up and
might get grounded at local hotspots) but amphibians, reptiles, and
mammals can get displaced and become much more visible. The day after
heavy storms has, in past years, provided me with good views of Plains
and Yellow-faced Pocket Gophers, for instance.
