(I think these are House Finches, though.)
This shot is worthy of any bird book and
certainly should be wearing a blue border.
Well done.
Feather Coloration
Though male purple and house finches have colored feathers, the feathers of the male house finch are brighter than those of the male purple finch. The male house finch has bright red color patterns on his face, head and belly, and brown feathers on his back, tail and wings. The male purple finch differs in appearance because he has pale pinkish-red feathers on his breast and head, with a white belly and brown feathers on the rest of his body. His feathers are not nearly as vibrant as those of the male house finch. The feathers of the females of both finches are primarily brown. However, the female house finch has darker brown wing feathers, while the female purple finch has defined white markings on her face.
Body Appearance
The body differences of the purple and house finches are the easiest ways to tell the two varieties apart. Purple finches have heads and bodies that are larger and rounder than those of house finches. Their tails also are shorter. If a visiting finch has an oblong head, short wings and a narrow body, you probably are observing a house finch. Another distinctive difference between the two finches is that the purple finch has a defined notch in its tail while the house finch's notch is not as obvious.

Finch and go on. I do know that in my bird book it looks more like a purple finch then it does a house finch with the red on his lower back where the tail starts and at the ends of his wings. They are hard to tell apart and you guys may be rith. Thanks for everyones input and comments
It is wonderful to see the blue border here!
It is very difficult to tell the difference
between the Purple Finch and the House Finch.
My son and I have a running discussion on
which one we are seeing.
Regardless of identity, this is a great photo.
Congratulations on your AC!
Here is a website that could help you with figuring out what finches they are:
http://www.birds.cornell.edu/pfw/AboutBirdsandFee ding/finchIDtable.html
If you look at the range maps that show what time of year certain birds are in your area, you'll see that for most of the U.S., the Purples are winter birds here. They breed in Canada and north. House Finches on the other hand, are seen in the U.S. year-round.
I also want to congratulate you for an outstanding AC image!
Congrats!
I tried to rate the photo cut cannot. I wonder why. In any event it would have been a 10!
