New Richmond, Clermont Co.

A female or 1st year male Purple Finch is being seen at the birdbath.  I
first saw it Sunday, drinking water that I spray on the leaves for the birds
and butterflies (ignoring feeders).  When I first saw it, I thought that I
might be seeing things, but today, it was at the birdbath - a definite
Purple Finch. Not many Sept. records for Cincinnati.

Had a Red-breasted Nuthatch at the feeder on Aug. 29th, but it must have
moved on.  I think it is going to be a good invasion year.  Pine Siskins
will be next here.
