White-collared Seedeater

White-collared Seedeaters are spreading.

That's the word..

Once just a bird of the two slopes in Mexico, they can now be found right through the interior.

I had heard and seen them around Tequisquiapan but never too close. However, whilst chowing down on some toast after work yesterday I saw this little blighter through the window about 2 yards away! Luckily I managed to grab my camera and get some close up shots before he dashed off.

Here's the Seed Eater in action - short stubby bill perfectly designed for tucking into the spiky plants of the Mexican desert.
