[TN-Bird] Purple finch

Just moments ago, I had a glorious purple finch on my feeder when I went 
outside to replenish the food supply.  He was "field guide perfect" right up 
to his scruffy high "feather-doo"  It always amazes me how the house finches 
pale in comparison by seemingly becoming a faded pink when basking in the 
splendor of the male purple's raspberryish brilliance.  When he flew from my 
yard, he took a little brown female with him, most likely of his own species 
as they left an althea bush full of male and female house finches.  I hope he 
returns.  He made my day!

I hope everyone had a marvelous Thanksgiving.  I did.

Cheers & Prayers,
