I just had a lovely male Purple Finch among a group of 20+ juncos eating
seed on the ground below the bird feeder. What I haven't noticed in about a
week are the Red-breasted Nuthatches. But I am also getting in flocks of
blackbirds, a sure sign of spring. Yesterday I had about 60 of them, 1/3
grackles, 1/3 male redwings, 1/3 female redwings.
Wodpeckers continue at the suet, including a pair each of Downy, Hairy,
Red-breasted and Pileated, with a Brown Creeper sneaking in when it can.
