There is at least one and perhaps several purple finches at the feeder. I only saw one at any given time. The finch looks as if a female house sparrow had been dipped head first in raspberry juice. It is not really purple but a purplish red at most.
There are house sparrows, goldfinches, and chipping sparrows at the feeder as well. They all seem to co-exist in reasonable harmony.
I walked to the lagoons at the edge of town today but saw very little. There were some ducks but they flew off before I could get a good look at them. There were no wading birds. I did see some tree swallows and a red-wing black bird but that was all.
