Finding Beautiful Purple Finches in the Snow

Purple Finches are an incredibly beautiful species that makes it's way into the United States during the winter time in greater numbers. While Purple Finches are certainly gorgeous, they can sometimes be difficult to find in years when food is readily available in their northern range. Join us as we search for Purple Finches as part of our "Winter Irruption Challenge".
