and it's fast and it's about the size and shape of a sparrow. Other than that I didn't see a thing lol. There was no way I was going to get a picture. I think they saw me comming before I even saw them and all I got to see was them leaving. I've been watching and watching hoping they would come back but not so far.

That should be fun to try to identify lol. If you all weren't soooooo good at doing the impossible I wouldn't even have posted. But you all are really good at identifing plants and birds so I thought I would give it a shot.

Hi TK! Was it maybe a finch? The males are usually an orange-ish red on their fronts and heads, and small like a sparrow.

This thing was red all over and so was the one chasing/following it. It was a china red color which is a little on the orange side. They sure were fast. I wish I would have gotten a better look.

I think this is the one I was. Thank you for identifying it for me. That sure was cool seeing it.
