HI . . . I thought some of you on the Kentucky bird list might like to read my summary report of Purple Finches banded this year at Hilton Pond Center for Piedmont Natural History near York SC. The posting is at http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek040322.html I'd be interested in hearing if any of you had unusually large assemblages of Purple Finches in the winter of 2003-04.
