Purp into the waxballs

As winter creeps in on us, more winter birds are showing up at our feeder.

The mobs of goldfinches have been here for a few days (a few stragglers

were here all summer). Today, with the mobs came two purple finches --

both female, so there's no sign of purple on them. Besides eating the seed

in the feeder, they like the white berries of the waxball hedge.
