Birds!

Uncle Raymond gave the boys a bird feeder for their playroom window. The first visitors (and I swear I'm not making this up) were 3 male birds, who sat side by side at the feeder. (We could tell they were male due to the bright red heads and chests vs. the all brown female.) Three male birds to christen the feeder of the three Bunn boys. How perfect!

Can you help us identify the bird?

The boys love going to the window in the morning and saying "BIRD!" and when they aren't any, they yell "MORE!"


Winston understood that the bird's were eating at the bird feeder. He wanted to eat the seed too, but the window sill was as close as he could get.

Yes, he took a bite of the window sill and took a chunk of paint off!

The male streaked brown with bright red breast, forehead, eyebrow, and rump is similar to and often mistakened for the Purple Finch...which is duller, with red coloration not concentrated on crown and breast.
