A bright red purple finch was sitting on our deck railing this morning. It caught my eye, interrupting the morning routine. We don't see purple finches all that often, so I stopped to scan the apple trees for more. Had about 15 Juncos, 5 purple finches, 5 Goldfinches, and 5-10 chickadees. Our normal flock of 15-20 Evening Grosbeaks was unable to access the feeder because of a greedy red squirrel sitting on it and so they were foraging on the ground beneath. But with them was a bright Fox Sparrow! A nice contrast to the bright yellow and white of the Grosbeaks. Our robin count has also dwindled back to a normal 30 or so now that the fields are totally free of snow.
