Bruce, about a quarter of the house finches that come to my feeders in the
wintertime are orange, but I rarely see one in the summer. The past few
weeks I've had about 10 to 15 orange (or yellowish) finches hanging around.

Just a plain old house finch, but I don't remember ever seeing an orange
one, except in pictures.
At my feeder, Columbus, OH
Are these guys common, just not to me?
