    I just noticed the White-throated  feeding along side a Fox Sparrow .
    The Tan Stripped White-throated Sp. has been in the back yard consistently
    since Nov25th.
    I've had two Fox Sparrow for the same amount of time, many White and Golden
    Crowns too.
    One yard bird I have not had this year is the Purple Finch.
     In fact I have only seen posting of Purple Finch for southern Arizona.
    I don't think ~  (?)  I've noticed the Purple Finch mentioned in any
    postings.
    Has anyone in the bay area had Purple Finch for 2006 ?
