					<description><![CDATA[Thanks for your explanation of the orange variant house finch.  This was news to me! Some googling led me to this article / study on caratenoid-based coloration .
This got me thinking about two orange variant scarlet tanagers I saw this summer and I wrote my own blog post about them in which I referenced your post.  Thanks for inspiring me!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Thank you.
Your common/abundant birds are exotica to me.  Very welcome exotica.  And speaking for myself I am awed and amazed at the &#039;handicaps&#039; that birds and animals seem to take in their stride.
Feather colouration is a fascinating rabbit hole that I am quite sure I could spend hours and hours exploring.]]></description>

Similar to Frances’s sister, at one time I was drinking a lot of carrot juice. People wondered if I was jaundiced.  As far as I know House Finches don’t get their carotenoids from carrots.]]></description>
