Sure Enough, The Rule Holds

As I surmised in yesterday's post, my claim that I was no longer seeing Siskins was promptly refuted by BirdCam evidence. And today, a Purple Finch showed up. What is interesting is that this is a lone female, just as seen a few weeks ago. There is no photo evidence of any other birds of this species. I wonder if she is detached in some way from an irruptive flock and was unable to reestablish contact. The BirdCam photos indicated that she is also not in the company of House Finches. I only see here alone or with other solitaries, such as the Red Winged Blackbird. I definitely need to watch out for this one. How she evades my personal observation I have no clue. And I would like to see if she has any friends. In any case, the Cary BirdCam Rule holds!
