[Charlie <cmmbirds@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,

As I play catch-up with email (I was at an EMT refresher course last
week, so fell behind... again) I see a few posts about Purple
Finches.

We had none at our house south of Maryville in Blount County last
year, but we've had a handful every single day that I've been home
during daylight hours since we returned from holiday travels.  Most
often we've had 2 males and 2 females.  A few times we've had 3 of
each.  I don't recall seeing fewer than 4, nor do I recall an odd
number at any time.

The finches go marching two by two, hurrah, hurrah...

Ok, I must have celebrated the Patriots victory too much!!!

Speaking of which, did everyone see that Parus major during the
halftime show?

Ok, Wallace, cut me off now, before I REALLY make a fool of myself...

Charlie
