We still are having many purple finches- both sexes at our feeders. In fact, they are even seeking the peanut feeder! The bluebird pair is still visiting the waterer while the mockingbird may become a regular at this point instead of a "once in a while" visitor. White-throats (sparrows) and the others (goldfiches, wb nuthatches, t titmice, C chickadees) are still faithful while the cardinals are increasing their visits, too. Hope to begin our bird survey route Tuesday to school to watch spring arrive.
