Bird Ramblings

This is a male House Finch, photographed above the Jasper Street Entrance of The Lodge here at Dallas Retirement Village on April 2nd.  He and his female partner are setting up a nest in the tall shrubs at the Entrance. He is often heard singing from this roof-top perch. She is rather drab in color and seems to prefer to stay out of sight probably on the nest deep inside the shrub. There is a possibility that we have two pairs interest in nesting there.
