At 6:00 this evening four Purple Finches (3 male; 1 female) appeared on our backyard feeder. These photos were taken through our back window; by the time I got outside, the birds were gone.
Two of the tubes in that feeder have black sunflower seed and one has a generic mixture. No thistle seed. These photos might indicate that finches are the regulars at this feeder, but that's not the case. They're more common on our two thistle feeders, and at least through yesterday we're still getting a few siskins at our thistle feeders too.
Great shots, Ric. What were they feeding on? Thanks for all of your posts.
