I haven't seen any since last Fall. This is the first Spring I haven't had any at my feeders in about seven years.
Walt Zuurdeeg Davenport ----- Original Message ----- From: Diana Pesek To: IA-BIRD Sent: 4/26/2012 6:37:13 AM Subject: [ia-bird] Purple Finch I have a female Purple Finch at my feeders this morning. 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.
