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. -- Donald Morse Jr. New Richmond, OH http://users.adelphia.net/~morsedr/ ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
