Lots of birds around today and migrants are beginning to appear. A female PURPLE FINCH had breakfast at our hopper feeder in the company of a multitude of house finches. Keep looking. There's probably something at your feeders that you don't see very often. Bill McAneny, TBurg --

The Purple Finches and Chipping Sparrows have made it to Auburn. I got the Sparrow a couple of days ago, and just got a beautiful male Purple Finch. It was interesting to compare Sparrows. I had a Tree and Chipping Sparrow feeding side by side. Sent from my iPad -- Cayugabirds-L List
