OK...what does a wild finch look like? Does it have a little top notch like thing on it's head and it's not very big? Hummers were visiting this am and some little birds with top notches (they hit the regular bird feeder hot and heavy...there were about 6 of them). I am curous what they are. It was very relaxing with my :coffee2:

husband and dogs. I might have to take up bird watching. Love Oma

Oma,

I'm guessing the bird you saw is a titmouse. Is it grey? I'm from the North, so it could be something else.

It appeared to be a dark color and had white on the belly. It had a top notch much like a woodpecker but very small bird. Love Oma

Could this be it?

The distribution map shows a good match.
