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

Our Lady of the Clergy, Pray for us!
Because you asked…
Wonderful! Thank you, I love the purple finch in the wild.
Very 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.
So they’re purple in the Tyrian sense.
Well, hopefully the Rose Finches will visit next Sunday.
I 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!
The first picture just begs for a caption. I think the married ones would know what I mean.
“This woman that you gave me tempted me and I ate…’ “Nuh-uh, it was that stupid snake…”
“Criminy, Agnes. Birdseed again??”
