This #FeederBirdFriday we're highlighting the sweet-singing Purple Finch. These stocky finches are erratic migrants that show up at bird feeders across their range (which covers much of the U.S. and Canada) at certain times of the year. Let's learn what foods and feeder types to use to attract these birds to your area!

Despite its name, the Purple Finch's plumage can range from raspberry-red to dull brown, depending on factors such as age, sex, and diet. Males in their breeding plumage display vibrant raspberry-red hues, while females and non-breeding males may appear more streaked or brownish. In the summer, they can be found primarily in the northern parts of North America. Learn how to attract this bird to your backyard here: https://www.wilddelight.com/birds/purple-finch/ | Wild Delight
