Description
An image of three baby house finches huddled together, sleeping under my awning in Pasadena, Maryland.
The House Finch was originally a bird of the western United States and Mexico. In 1940 a small number of finches were turned loose on Long Island, New York, after failed attempts to sell them as cage birds (“Hollywood finches”). They quickly started breeding and spread across almost all of the eastern United States and southern Canada within the next 50 years.

Marlin and Laura Hum
Great shot, Brian, but these are definitely not house finches! They are wrens, quite possible house wrens.
Brian Wallace replied:
Thanks Marlin and Laura Hum, for responding. All I can say is that I called them something else before and got corrected to House Finch. I could see their point of having a thicker beak and figured they could be right. These of course don't show a lot of detail and you seem so "definite". I'm not an ID specialist myself about anything.

Adorable capture Brian! We have a couple of these around our house too! L/F
Brian Wallace replied:
Thanks Kathy, for the nice comment and L/F. You know these birds are not native to the East coast of the US but were introduced here and to Hawaii.
