A couple of female House Finches flanked by a couple of males. Are they hams, or were they merely sitting there? And why is it that, in the bird world, the males are usually more colorful that the females?
I took this picture at the Ponds, a couple of days ago.
The male birds are more colorful to attract the female's attention. The females are less colorful because they have to blend in while sitting on the nest. :-)
