The Colour Purple..... as in Purple Finch.

This is the first Purple Finch to visit my feeders in two years. I was lucky enough to be out there with a camera when he showed up.

Incredible detail, beautiful color and IQ and a super perch.

Great to see the first Purple Finch posted Harvey and such beautiful poses and shots... nicely captured.

I have been waiting for mine to return... last year the first one showed up on April 5th... but the snow is all gone here and I have had record warm temps for the last week or so.. hopefully they will return earlier.

Thanks a lot, Gary. Normally they are pretty elusive around here as well.
