South Dakota Birds and Birding
House Finch Photos
Photography by Terry Sohl
My Favorite: Another one of
those underappreciated birds, one that's often common and regularly seen around
homes and gardens. We get them quite often at our feeders, although it
does seem to me that they're becoming less and less common around here.
This photo of a pretty male was taken in the
Big Sioux Recreation Area,
the state park across the street from our home.
