Hi, all:
Two more birds from Arizona. The first I think is a female house finch (based on beak, barring on the breast and the fact I saw a male house finch in this same tree an hour earlier. The second is of a bird that was way up in the trees in the zoo. I didn't think I got a shot of them they were moving so fast, but I was going through my stream, and lo and behold a single shot! Whatever these birds are they are tiny, yellowish green, and there are a ton of them at the Phoenix zoo. Also, I have two questions. A couple of months ago, I was seeing male and female HOSP. Now I only see groups of males wherever I go. Are the females just super discreet, or do males and females split up during the winter. And lastly, I know this is a bird forum, but does anyone recognize what kind of tree is in the last two shots? I ask because it is in my apartment complex and thus far I have seen 5 species of birds eating the seeds: house finches, house sparrows, verdin, inca dove, and one unidentified that I have not managed to photograph.
