Hi, Craig! I looked back at my house finch numbers from Project Feederwatch, and it does look like they hang around (at least in our yard) all winter. The highest number of individuals (10 at one time) appeared in November of 2008; although most often we get 2 at a time. The highest number of occurrences (18 weeks of visits) was in the winter of 2006-2007. Most visits by house finches are clustered in the December/January stretch - but they are consistent into the spring. Love that new data mapping! :-) Tammy Eustis, Chester -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [CT Birds] House finch From: "minor.craig via CTBirds" <ctbirds@lists.ctbirding.org> Date: Wed, December 10, 2014 12:48 pm To: ctbirds@lists.ctbirding.org Do house finches stay in CT all winter ? I had two at the feeders this morning .
