Reflections of an Amateur Birder- Purple Finches

By Doug Horvath | Sunday, February 7, 2010, 01:40 PM

Written By Lisa McGurk

We have had a great number of Purple Finches visiting us at our Window on Wildlife lately. The highest number that we have counted at one time for Project Feeder Watch was nine (that was a couple weeks ago). We have Project Feeder Watch every other Friday (12:30 to 2:30) and Saturday (10:30 to 12:30) where we count birds and send the numbers to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology (see ebird.org for more information). The next one will be on Friday February 12th at 12:30. Stop by the Germantown Nature Center’s Window on Wildlife and help us count the birds!
