Yesterday, April 9th, we had 100 + Purple Finches at
our feeders and in the trees around our yard. At times
there were 6 to 8 on each of the feeders and more
waiting in the trees.
Richard Kretz, who lives 4 or 5 miles from us called
and said that he had over 200 in his yard. While I was
busy mowing the lawn, Laverne went over to Richard and
Pam's. Dave Worley stopped by Richards also to see the
finches.
It was quite a spectacle with the males in full
breeding plumage and the females with their bright new
plumage. They stayed around all day.
Tom & Laverne Hunter
