Hi...for those seeking Purple finches there seems to be a lot of them out
here on the Peninsula. We?re about 6 miles South of Port Townsend on Rt 20
and about 180 feet above Discovery Bay. We?ve had Purple finches pretty
much all year, but especially from March on. I?ve not done an actual count
but there?s probably 8 ? 10 that are regulars at our feeders along with
slightly fewer numbers of House finches, larger numbers of Goldfinches and
much larger numbers of Pine siskins. Right now the Black-Headed grosbeaks
are dominating the feeders and keeping the finches at the thistle feeders
nearby.
