Subject: [Tweeters] Purple Finch seasonality

Hello, tweets.

I was looking at the range map for Purple FInch and noticed that
there is a large breeding range in western Canada north of us in
which the birds are said to be migratory, pulling out during the
winter. This is a much larger area than the resident range in
Washington. Where do these birds go in winter?

I'm wondering if anyone sees numbers of Purple FInches anywhere in
this region in the winter where they're not present in summer, or
sees much larger numbers in winter than summer. I can't say that I've
seen this, so I'm asking purely out of curiosity.
