Once the cold weather set in I was and am smothered with birds at my feeders. The most unusual one is what I think is a female Purple Finch. Anyone who would like to see pictures of the bird to help confirm my ID, I would appreciate it.
I have about 50 American Goldfinches, 70-80 balckbirds - mostly Common Grackles and a few Red-winged Blackbirds (fortunately they are staying in the trees away from the seed), 20-30 Robins, 15-20 Juncos, and a meandering band of some 10-15 haggard Cedar Waxwings. They are all really loving the water feature as there is an actual waiting line for access. Thomas Maiello Angel Environmental Management, Inc. Maple Grove, MN
