  15. Nice shots of the finches.I've only seen one House Finch in our south Florida neighborhood since moving here 10 years ago. We lived in Dallas when they suddenly appeared in the 1980s. Since they had spread from both coasts across the entire continent, they converged in a line that roughly went through central Texas, so I could not tell whether they represented the east or west coast population. Saw many with eye disease in Illinois a couple of years ago.
