It was clearly put and informative. It rings so true. I have Googled pictures of both finches and, based on your information, found them to be labeled wrong. Thank you for the excellent comparison.

It was lovely to paint these two birds, and hopefully will help folks learn to distinguish between them. I'm not surprised that you haven't seen your Purple Finch again...they just aren't common (which makes it all the more exciting to sight one!). But, I really appreciated the tip as there is almost no documentation I can find about these birds in Sonoma County. Little by little, we are working to make this blog a solid body of documentation that can be referenced by birders like you and those who come visiting to bird here and want to know where and when to see what bird. Please, keep sharing any good tips you have with us, Candy! We really value it! Good Evening Candy,

I have to confess, I have been here looking almost daily for this wonderful post of yours. Your paintings really are wonderful of these two birds. I have yet to catch another glimpse of the elusive purple finch after the initial two times, but the House finch has been frequenting our feeder everyday now for the past few weeks. I also recognized the female house finch for the first time. While she is drab compared to the male, it was still pretty exciting. Thank you so much for another wonderful post! Candy Hello!
