We have had them at our feeders year round. Higher numbers late this past winter.

Haven't seen many reports of Purple Finches this year, and a few of us recently were discussing not having seen any since early last winter, so thought I would mention it. Curious if there have been many sightings of Purple Finches in other parts of the state so far this year.
