I have had roughly a half-dozen purple finches at my feeders through most of the winter. Today at 11 degrees and howling wind I counted 13 purple finches! I am certain that there are more, as some are taking shelter in the adjacent rhododendron patch. While they do eat a lot of groceries, I still enjoy seeing them.
