The Feeder Feed
An interesting and instructive sight at the feeder this morning.
You can see here the difference between House Finch (left) and Purple finch (right).

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Wonderful! Thank you, I love the purple finch in the wild.
Comment by GalacticCatholic — 8 December 2009 @ 11:09 amVery instructive pictures. I have seen both birds but never side by side for comparison. Purple Finch makes House Finch look like a purple pretender. Is that the correct shade of purple for Advent?
Lovely pictures, Thank you Fr. Z.

Comment by Suburbanbanshee — 8 December 2009 @ 11:54 amWell, hopefully the Rose Finches will visit next Sunday.
Comment by Random Friar — 8 December 2009 @ 12:53 pmI imagine the birdies sense when there’s going to be a blizzard, so they’re ‘stocking up’ at the feeders!
Nice pics as always, Father Z!
Comment by irishgirl — 8 December 2009 @ 2:55 pmThe first picture just begs for a caption. I think the married ones would know what I mean.
