Greetings, We have not heard anyone say anything about Purple Finches this fall and early winter. We have had none so far and they have been here every year in the last ten years, but always before this time. Is anyone having them? Would be glad to hear. There would seem to have been plenty of cold to push them down here, but maybe they have a bumper crop of seeds up north this year. Maybe someone knows. J. N. Howard, Marion Couny
