Purple Finch: Kennebunk, Maine, USA, April 2025 — The Purple Finches are back. We must have a dozen of them, both male and female, visiting the feeders several times a day. I am going through twice as much sunflower seed as normal. And there is nothing quite like an adult male Purple Finch in the spring. So bright. So rich. Even, or maybe, especially in the rain.
