Lately I have been seeing a few House Finches that appear more orange than red. Is this common? I didn't see this kind of deviation in years past.

In San Diego, I see lots of red, lots of orange and even a few yellow House Finches. According to Sibley, the orange and yellow varients are due to variations in diet...

Did you change brand of your sunflower seeds? grin
