I had an amazing number of purple finches at my feeder this weekend. I counted
as many as 72 at one time. They were zipping and zapping so I tried really
hard to be as accurate as I could be. The trees were full of Kool-aide dipped
birds, or that is what they remind me of. I had lots of females, and a few
just beginning to get the red tinge. Between purple finches, goldfinches and
junco I had a yard full of birds. When I entered the data on GBBC, they ask if
I was sure I'd seen that many. They were still here on Monday. I stopped at
my Uncle's house that lives about 2 miles from me and he too has a good number
of purple finches also. Anyone else have that many?
Did anyone find a catbird this weekend? I saw one on Monday. Are they
usually here this time of year? I looked back at some of my records and March
was the earliest I had seen them? Also White throated sparrows are around in
large number, but no fox sparrows.
