The identification of these three finches of the Carpodacus genus can be extremely difficult. Each species is about the same size and shape, each is colored red with varying degrees of brown streaking, and each is common to feeder areas. What's more, the ranges of these birds overlap quite a bit, primarily owing to the ubiquitous distribution of the House Finch.
Dragging out the ladder again, here is a picture of the newly hatched finches this morning:
It's off to fill the finch feeder again, so the hatch lings can receive supplements to their diet of insects from their parents.
