jonesmunoz 7 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Although Purple Finches are not normal in our area, this year they have been, a bit of an irruption. I have identified some at me feeders before, but it has been a couple of months. I am thinking this might be one, but would appreciate your expertise. These pictures were taken today in north central Oklahoma. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaulK 253 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 That looks good to me for a purple finch! Red down the back, no heavy brown streaking on the sides, no white wingbars. Please wait until an actual expert chimes in before confirming though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
