Sorry about that - I did mean blue Jays.  I usually have a dozen (at =
least that many) here every summer - this year there were only three. I =
have also missed  blue herons - places where they are usually found, =
this year have not had any.

        I have had a dozen purple finches most of the summer, along with =
a few house finches. The males have now all disappeared, but I still =
have quite a few female purple finch, along with female house finches =
and a number of young birds.
       Other birds in my yard :  chicadees, three blue birds, a few =
goldfinch, three mourning doves.  My woodpeckers seem to have all =
disappeared. I have trouble identifying birds now - I am in the process =
of having cataract surgery.

          Hi Marilyn and all,

          Like you, we had only seen the Purple Finches in the Spring =
this year, however, have seen a number now, both mature males and female =
(juveniles perhaps too) every day this past week at the backyard =
feeders, along with many American Goldfinches, Song Sparrows, =
White-throated Sparrows, BC Chickadees, Hairy & Downy Woodpeckers, =
Northern Flickers, numerous Warblers but they move so quickly, I am not =
sure what kind, American Robins, Grackles and of course, way too many, =
Starlings, and, one lone Gray Catbird. No Nuthatches, though.

            Hi all,  Well, we have the usual bluejays, chickadees, wb =
nuthatches coming to the feeders everyday.  But this morning at the =
finch feeder there was one male purple finch traveling with the =
goldfinches.  The last time I saw a purple finch was early spring when =
once again he seemed to be with the goldfinches.  =20
