At least I believe it's a purple finch. The snow I'm sure about.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Beauty of a Purple Finch and excellent composition all around Barry!
You're correct on both counts, although I think I see some freezing rain in there too :-)

I appreciate your comments greatly Steve. Whatever that white stuff is, it's now about 8" deep :-)

Thanks, Al! These guys keep our feeders busy when it snows. Thanks again.

Many thanks Jeff! They certainly are colorful little beauties. I'll bet when they're up in your area in the spring their plumage is even more vibrant. Thanks again.
