Had one of these at our home on Echo Lake today....June 11, 2017. A beautiful male and a female. The male was doing his romantic little dance and his mate was having none of it! LOL!!
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky! We usually get a few males and a few females -- at different times. No fun at all.
DeleteWe have the reflective type windows on the front of our house, and this morning one of these purple finch females flew into the window. I was afraid for her for a while, as she was quite stunned. I picked her up off the ground and held her, first in the palm of my hand, then on my index finger. When she bit my finger I knew she was going to recover. She finally flew off, much to my relief! We have a variety of songbirds here, and each one is precious......
