P.S. I should perhaps qualify this statement just a bit:

> Purple Finches have been the most abundant finch species all winter at
> E.E. Wilson Wildlife Area ...

There were a few of days in early winter when Pine Siskins may have
outnumbered them (though siskins have been mostly absent since early
January). 

Also, roving Red Crossbill flocks may have momentarily reached numbers
similar to the total number of wintering Purple Finches, in brief forays
out over the valley floor from the forested foothills of the coast
range.

Good birding,
Joel
