This Finch is gathering material to build its nest.

The House Finch, Carpodacus mexicanus, can be found in the eastern and western parts of the United States, but is not often seen in the mid-section of the country. House Finches lay four or five pale blue eggs, lightly spotted with black, in a well-made cup of grass in a bush, thicket, or natural cavity, or on a building.
