Now here's a bird you don't see very often. These came in to my bird feeder a few months ago but the photo I took was not good at all. This one is a little better. This is in my book as a Family Estrildidae Nutmeg Mannikin and there are supposed to be small groups in California and southeast Florida. I hear that a small group is trying to take hold in Texas....well, here they are.

rare sighting today
Wow! thanks for sharing that cshirsch, reminds me of a Grosbeak, love the colors.
I think they are part of the Finch family.
