After Jennifer sent the previous letter about the purple finches at our
house in Southeast Jefferson Co.more of them appeared. I counted 47 they were
on the ground, at the feeders, as well as in the trees. It wasn't but a couple
of weeks ago and there were mostly house finches and just a few purple finches,
now there are no house finches and all purple finches. Also a good mixture of
the usual winter birds the past few days including hairy woodpeckers,fox
sparrows, ruby crown kinglet and turkeys.
