FINCH, WREN, or SPARROW??

Dazlin · ‎03-14-2010

I'm getting small birds, but I can't tell what they are. I googled them, but im not sure what they are. Size is like a small finch...they have brownish upper parts with white stiping on the wings, belly is light gray, and tails are somewhat short, pointed downward. I thought they looked like the small yellow warblers I have, but these don't have yellow bellies. I'm not sure if they are house finches either, but i see pics of those with slight striping on their bellies....the ones here are just plain gray on bottom, striped brownish upper and wings. @Nicknack..?? or anybody know.? I'm trying to get a pic..but may be difficult for you to see close up.

This is the best I can I get...its on the narrow tube feeder, lower perch...see if you can blow it up.

The only thing I can make out is the blue chicken. Oh I can see another chicken to the right side of the blue one.

Anyway, it's probably a finch. I get a lot of those at my feeder this time of year.

I've been getting both finches and sparrows...lots of sparrows!...on my feeders of late. I've never seen a wren at my nyjer seed feeder. I'm in the mid-Atlantic area.

Lol, look on hanging tube feeder, about midway up. If you can stretch the pic, it may help. I just have regular bird seeds in it, i mix with a small amount of thistle, and whatever these birds are, they're liking it. I have lots of yellow warblers, so I thought these birds might be related.

@KatieB ...can you describe the colors/markings on the finch your getting? I do think mine are finch too...just not too sure yet.

@Dazlin I tried to blow it up, but it got really fuzzy. The coloring sort of looks like a tufted titmouse. Does it have a crest? What state are you in?
