How wonderful. I, too have had many House Finches with American Goldfinches at 
my school bird feeders. My 5th Grade students are on PURPLE ALERT and realize 
the importance of the first Purple Finch to arrive. In the middle of teaching, 
I often stop, pause, look . . . the class gets quiet . . . "Is it a Purple 
Finch, Ms. Sparks?" 
"Not yet. Just keep looking."

This morning on a sunflower feeder, we had along with House Finches and 
American Goldfinches a beautiful male Purple Finch.  This was a beautiful 
beginning to a cold sunny winter day.
