Purple Finches By Myrna Pearman
Mother Nature’s Naturalist and Backyard Birding Expert
What a delight it is to see the first Purple Finches arriving back in April, with the males’ beautiful raspberry-red providing a welcome contrast to the dull grays and browns of the surrounding landscape. Both the males and females sing a bubbly continuous warble, also a welcome addition to an early spring day.
Purple Finches are sometimes confused with the now-abundant House Finches. Although they are similar in size, they can be quite easily distinguished from each other. Male Purple Finches are a raspberry red while House Finches tend to be orangish-red. Female Purple Finches have a well-defined white eyeline and are crisply patterned while female House Finches are quite dull with blurrier streaking.
Purple Finches are mainly seed eaters, but will also eat insects, soft buds, nectar (extracted by biting the bases off flowers) as well as berries and fruit. When they first arrive in the spring, the birds will frequent bird feeders that offer sunflower chips, canola and nyjer seed. An excellent blend to offer them is Mother Nature’s Wild Finch Mix.
While Purple Finches tend to patronize feeders less during the summer, both adults and newly fledged juveniles will occasionally make an appearance at a feeding station to supplement their summer menu. In the fall, feeders regain their popularity during the birds’ late September/early October migration south.

Mother Nature's Resident Naturalist and backyard birding expert Myrna Pearman is taking your birding questions! In this video, Myrna answers a Facebook follower's question on how long does it take for birds to find your bird feeders.
The hobby of backyard bird feeding has taken off over the past few years. As enjoyable and tranquil as it can be, it can also be messy. Discarded shells, hulls, and unconsumed birdseed can accumulate under your feeder and scatter all over your deck and lawn. By choosing Mother Natures® No Waste Gardener’s Mix you can avoid the mess. This birdseed mix is designed to attract a broad variety of birds but ensures that there is no mess after they visit. The seed ingredients in this mix do not have shells or husks and will not sprout in your garden.
Happy New Year!
