Here's a great example of male and female Purple Finches. They are larger than the more common (in CT) House Finch, and the female has heavy streaking on her breast and belly. The male, as mentioned in the Sibley Guides, looks like it has been "dipped in raspberry juice."
Lovely birds!
#purplefinch #finchesofinstagram #finch #birds #getoutside #observe #birdinginct #birdingOur 6th place species in our fall 2020 top ten countdown is pretty cool- the Purple Finch! This species is "irruptive" meaning they come south for the winter irregularly depending on food availability. This past fall we banded 614 Purple Finches. In 2019 we banded zero. Young birds and females of all ages are brown. Males develop their purple coloring early in their second year of life.

Didn't Roger Torrey Peterson start the raspberry juice description?

How much are the pot holders?

In 2 more weeks I will have a healthy set of antibodies (to covid 19). I will then return, all masked up and happy and shop my socks off in one of my absolutely favorite shops EVER😻🌿🦅

Yesterday we stopped down at Hammonasset to view Red Crossbills. They’re doing a number on the cones of the trees near the boat launch.
Get over there to see them! They’ll be heading back north soon.

If you need an all-in-one bird feeder that checks off all the right features, here’s a top seller. The Classic Pole Mounted bird feeder comes with a 6’ pole, a built in squirrel baffle, metal perches and holds 4lbs of seed at a clip.
Jerry explains why we love this feeder. It’s available on our site for shipping or curbside pickup, your choice. You can also call us from the lot with a credit card and we’ll bring anything out to your trunk.
And, don’t forget, our website is open 24/7.

#nofilterneeded (or wanted) Many thanks to Terry Shaw for this crystal clear pic of a...?
A “sometimes” but always welcomed visitor to Hammonasset. It’s a finch with a specialized bill for cracking open cones to extract seeds.
Loxia curvirostra - the Latin name
The habitat (food source) and bill should give this one away. This is an interesting bird! #birdsofinstagram #hammo #alwayssomethingtosee #guessmyname #coolbird #madisonct #themadisonscene
