These cavity-nesting and branch-nesting granivores had not been recorded breeding in Louisiana until about 1989, but now they nest in cities and larger towns all across the state. Although native to the southwestern U.S. and nearby Mexico, Louisiana's House Finches are derived from birds that were released in the northeastern U.S. in the 1940's.
