Take a break at the end of the week to watch birds in the backyard.

This soothing video highlights a British bird, the hawfinch (Coccothraustes coccothraustes), whose large beak is perfect for opening seeds.

Three other birds make a cameo appearance.  Can you identify them?

p.s.  The hawfinch is related to our evening grosbeaks.
