For some strange reason when I got to this post earlier this evening I couldn't post a comment, after I had commented on your other posts!!!!<br /><br />What I was going to say was the Purple Finches are so cute, it must have been great to see them in person. The color of the ones in your photos is brighter than the ones in my bird book. I love the shot with the two of them and the male goldfinch.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />JudySquirrelQueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00634513897599275287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-28286882873930579112010-03-31T08:34:57.738-05:002010-03-31T08:34:57.738-05:00the finch fotos are Awesome!the finch fotos are Awesome!MadSnapperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08163140037276496519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-50268538210564767472010-03-30T22:56:43.223-05:002010-03-30T22:56:43.223-05:00I is amazing to me how many birds you have that we...I is amazing to me how many birds you have that we also have here.

That goldfinch may not have the spring colors, but look at the white stripping pattern on the back, it's a great shot of that! You need to go back there this spring, pretty please? Take more pics to show us all. Look at it as a senoir volunteer job! The purple finch seems very shiny compared to a house finch. Phil is the oldest, and he's the one on the right. There were six, and I've changed my blog to say that. We were not even allowed wedding rings, and for many years, I wore a head covering like the Amish do. People seem interested in this, so I have several different posts planned about it that I'll do once in a while, not all at once.Ginny Hartzlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329131153403895625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-34439882130421296992010-03-30T12:31:02.319-05:002010-03-30T12:31:02.319-05:00The purple finch is such a pretty bird.
