Return of the Purple Finch

Not sure why they call this pretty red bird a purple finch, but they do. Caught him perched on the snowy suet, enjoying a snack.

  1. What a beautiful red purple finch...I think the "men" who name them must be colored blind! LOL I can see why you look forward to it's return!

  6. This is beautiful. We don't get to many Purple Finches here in the winter. We get them mostly in the summer. Stunning to see the red against the white.
