Edith Israel on CFO said this may be an escapee from the aviary at
ManorCare down the road (I didn't know they had one). They guy who cares
for the birds there (Trevor) is supposed to call me tomorrow, hopefully
he'll know if they have seed-finches (or munia), and if they had one
escape recently. I should probably visit just to see what they have
there, in case this happens again. 8^(
Hi all,
I took the liberty of sending the pics to Alvaro Jaramillo (much
experience with seed-finches) and he says:
Impossible to know (species) without a male and out of range I would
say. Most likely a Lesser/Chestnut-bellied, as these are common and
widespread. They are also traded heavily in Argentina from what I
recall, so are likely in the international market
