Bright Red and Blue
Stone Lake NWL is an urban refuge located 10 miles from downtown Sacramento. The diverse habitat of Stone Lakes National Wildlife Refuge is called home to over 200 species of birds and numerous other fish and wildlife species. The House Finch is a recent introduction from western into eastern North America (and Hawaii), but it has received a warmer reception than other arrivals like the European Starling and House Sparrow. That’s partly due to the cheerful red head and breast of males, and to the bird’s long, twittering song.
