@raemoonsun: All banding and handeling is conducted under proper USGS permits and guidelines 🤗 House Finch (Haemorhous mexicanus) This species is a western America native species but after a population escaped in Long Island they quickly began to breed and spread across the east. They were in Long Island to be sold as cage birds hence the nickname "Hollywood finches". Another fun fact about these birds is that they feed their young plant food exclusively which is uncommon among many song birds! #birdbanding #ornithologist #ornithology #biology #fyo
