The Big Dead-Fish Clean-Up
A huge thank you to the volunteers who pitched in yesterday to remove all those dead fish from the Celery…
Congrats
to everyone who ID'd this bird as a female Purple Finch. It was a
toughie for me — just never see many, or didn't until this month.
John Workman gently points out, however, that this could be a young male Murple Finch as well. See his comments on the post below.
(Thanks, John!) These darned bird IDs can be tricky, and Monday Morning Mysteries a tad too myserious.
