Greetings and Salutations one and all. I finaly have a Female Purple Finch at my feeder. The eye stripe is unmistakeable! hopefully a male is nearby and I can get some pics of both. I have had computer problems as of late and haven't been able to get out, but the purple finch at my feeder was a great addition to my house list. I'll see you out there!
