We don’t get a lot of Purple Finches in our yard, and when they have dropped in, it’s mostly been during the fall months.
That’s why it’s been so fun to host a little flock of Purple Finches for the last few weeks. They visit the feeders every morning.

Purple Finches have a funny little warbling call that’s very loud and hard to miss.
These birds are on their way to Northern Wisconsin and Canada for the breeding season, but I’m glad they stopped in for a short visit.
