Creature Awaits #246
Each week I plan to feature an amazing creature, admiring God's fantastic artistry. Hopefully it’ll brighten someone’s day to see something new and interesting if they haven’t seen it before. : )
As the Pantone color of the year is "Peach Fuzz", so we'll dive into the second month of this relatively new year by featuring creatures of this cozy, comforting color. : )

The Eurasian Bullfinch
Scientific Name: Pyrrhula pyrrhula
Region: Throughout Europe and temperate regions across Asia
Size: About 6" (~15.2cm) tall
Interesting Notes: In many English-speaking parts of Europe, this is bright and beautiful bird is simply known as a Bullfinch, as it was the first bird to be given that name. There are now a handful of both Old and New World bullfinches. The peach belly and grey back only appears on the male, these parts are a soft, pale brown on females, though the black markings remain in similar locations.
