 A pair of house finches is engaged in mate feeding behavior at my feeders. Also saw a pair mate feeding at Spring Grove on Thursday.
Seems early for courtship behavior in this species.

I also have a partially leucistic female house finch at my feeders. She has white on the scapulars and on the wing coverts.
