Today a beautiful male Purple Finch was singing in the yard. It's been 7 months (Aug. 18) since seeing any in this part of Oxford County although until then they were always here until snow season. Red-breasted Nuthatches have been the other big absentee. They were common year-round until early last October, when they seemed to dwindle and vanish from the feeders in the space of a couple of weeks. I haven't seen a RBNH in the area since Oct. 21. There must surely be more going on than the neighbor cutting down a few pasture pines on his property.
