I have had a single female Purple Finch coming to my backyard feeders today and yesterday.  Today it liked the sunflower tube feeder mostly, sometimes came to thistle feeder and liked sitting in the tree branches for long periods of time and sometimes would eat the snow from the tree branches.  It only had one good eye so she wasn't much to look at. The pumpkin color under its lower beak and on lower back/base of the tail was interesting coloring.  Also had a Pine Siskin on 2/21.

Yesterday saw a Red-shouldered Hawk on the wires on Bishop Rd just south of White Rd on edge of golf course east of Cuyahoga County airport.
