Re: [Maine-birds] Purple Finch pairs. Not pair.

We have had 2 glorious males and one boldly marked female purple finch in the yard in Hallowell this week.

The males really live up to the "dipped in raspberry juice" description :)

After years of house finches, any thoughts on why we're having this welcome sight?

I also had three PUFI pairs this morning here in Cumberland. Initially it appeared to be only 5 (what's that, a full house?)- one of the females came late to the feed.

Hi Barbara - For what it's worth, I want to thank you for the posting and also say that nit-picking doesn't suit the spirit of the listserv or our shared passion for birds. The reason for birding is joy, ecology and community, not grammatical corrections.

purple finches don't care about case sensitivity.

My balloon is burst. Of course it should have been 3 "pairs ". I shouldn't have been so fussy about upper case names of birds, and I might not have had attention drawn to it for a reader's correction.
