[birdky] purple finch

While cleaning tackle and tackle box in preparation for our annual
fishing trip, 17th straight, I glanced up at a thistle feeder on my 
patio (?) and LO & BEHOLD ! there was a male and female PURPLE 
FINCH ! !  This is the first time they have visited my feeders, here in 
Florence and previously in Edgewood, in the last five years!  So now 
you know the reason for my happiness.  In Edgewood I had great 
habitat for many sp of birds - 113 over 32 yrs in fact, but even there the 
visitation from PP dopped off dramatically the last 4-5 years I was there.
Hopefully this is a sign of good things to come for this year.  Good
birding to all.
