Finches in Holden

[ell...@myfairpoint.net]

Today at Lower Dedham Road I have the first purple finch (male) in months!  I have too many goldfinches to count, but the males are beginning to sport their new colors.  One of them has already changed completely and is a golden standout in this freezing weather.  I have almost daily visits from a pair of cardinals and a pair of brown creepers.
