We have been having a Purple Finch at our sunflower seed platform once in a
while for the past month. Sometimes a male and rarely a female. During the
recent two icy days, they really moved in. A pair were there at least twice,
sometimes two males, and sometimes three females. On one occasion, we briefly
had a partially leucistic male. It was very whitish on the sides of the head
and breast. None have been seen since the ice melted off the trees.
