Are any of you birdwatchers? A bird built a nest on my porch and the top of its head and chest is red, everything else is greyish brown. Google says it's a house finch, is that right?

We get the same pair of house finch every year nesting on our door wreath. If they are successful, they will be back! They are pretty resilient, but if you can use another door for 2-3 weeks when the chicks hatch you can increase their success.

Yeah looks like a house finch to me, in my amateur birding opinion, like as in I really go out looking with binoculars and a life list

Check out Merlin and iNaturalist for some good bird identification apps. Merlin has a shazaam-like feature for bird calls. They're both super handy

That's Apple's guess as well.
