Hi Fred, et al.

We have had Purple Finches at our feeders in Davidsonville, Anne 
Arundel County, MD virtually daily since Dec 18th. The highest number 
we've had at one time has been six, but I suspect that the numbers 
have peaked above that. I think they are rotating to other feeders in 
our neighborhood, because I've watched some leave towards one 
direction while others arrive from another direction.
