Even before the sun was up this AM, my yard held a couple dozen busy Purple Finches. A couple were vocalizing- doing mumble-y partial songs in the frosty shrubs at dawn.
-- There have been gradually increasing numbers of PUFI's lately, but overnight the yard count jumped substantially. This is the first solid evidence of a fall/winter finch flight for me.
The cold temperatures overnight silenced the insects and with passerine migration winding down, a distant Barred Owl was the only sound I could hear at 4:30 this AM .
Cheers
