[cobirds] Purple Finch in Bent County

Birders,

I saw and photographed (poorly) a female type Purple Finch at Las Animas
Junction  (on the east side of the Purgatoire River railroad bridge east
of Las Animas CO) today. Due to record cold and snow, I felt compelled
to feed the Northern Cardinals and other forest dwelling birds I've
sporadically fed there since the John Martin Reservoir CBC. I've seen
Purple Finches here four times since December, but this is the first
time one has come to the ground to feed, so it is more likely to remain
as long as I continue to scatter seed and the snow doesn't melt.

Let me know if you're interested in more information about seeing the
Purple Finch.
