["Joan Carr" <joan-of-art@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

We had some PURPLE FINCHES at our feeders today. They have been very
scarce this year, but as usual the HOUSE FINCHES have been numerous.
Among the PURPLE FINCHES was one which looked different. It had the
beautiful purplish-rose color over most of its body, but it also had a
wide white wing bar or epaulet. I had never seen this before, so I tried
to get a photograph. But that particular bird was very skitterish and it
would fly whenever I went outdoors. If the bird returns tomorrow, I will
try again to photograph it. 
 
Cheers,
