[Mnbird] Strange House Finch Still Around

[Roger Everhart]

Hey everyone,




  Three weeks ago I had a strange bird show up at my feeders that appeared to be an aberrant House Finch. Many kind folks replied with their opinions and the majority also thought it is a House Finch. Well the little imp is still around and today I got a much better photo that I posted at:

 My new question isn't about species ID, it is about the mechanism that caused the strange look. If anyone wants to enlighten me I would be most interested. Hopefully it is a local resident and maybe next spring I'll have a shot at putting a band on it. Until then, I'd love to hear opinions from the group.
