stephanie, 1 month ago @ottaross yes! We have A couple of house finches coming to our feeder this year too! They're not too scared and they sing beautifully! I also recommend Merlin!

ottaross, 1 month ago @chrisbegley have seen it, but haven't tried it yet. Most often we see birds rather than hear them, but it'll be interesting to try as we get into warmer weather

KimberlyN, 1 month ago @ottaross I think he’s likely a House Finch. https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/House_Finch/id

KimberlyN, 1 month ago @ottaross If you haven’t already, you should check out the Merlin app by Cornell Lab. You can identify birds by their calls in real time.
