Well since it's so hot out and nobody is in the mood to go wheelin, except maybe a night run...Beeline to Bartlett?, I decided to post some pics of the little finches that caught my ear with their beautiful little chirps while working in the front yard. 
I don't know what kind of finches they are or if they even are but I do know that they are tiny and loud and that the male bird is usually the brighter of the two. The one in the picture below is of the female of the pair that was feasting on the seeds of the wilting sunflowers. 
This is the best picture I could get of her man's color.
And here's a shot of the bully that swooped in and caused a ruckus. She's the one in the center. She's also little bigger that the other two. You can barely make the couple out at the opposite ends of the photo. He's on the left and she's on the right. 
It's refreshing to see wildlife, that you don't really see to often in the city, come into your yard. The other day I thought a heard the call of a love bird. I went out front to check and sure enough...there was a male in the large ash tree in the front yard just singin' away.

landscaper jeff why did you take pictures of finches on weeds in youre yard
just kidding
glad you would acknowledge th fact on birds singing
nas
you are very observant jeff.
Aren't you just the perfect nature show host? Knowing all the birds names and their calls even...I can see you now..."that bird sounds like its a 3 year old male robin..." And you would be right every time. I am sure you can identify any jeep you hear from a mile away so its kinda the same.
Haha, thanks! I'm not that good but I'll take the credit.
