For me? Mine came to my feeder yesterday: a purple finch.
I do not get one every winter; I get those ubiquitous house finches, the interlopers, the usurpers, the boorish Hollywood horde knocking at my chamber door. But this one was indeed different. The color softer, more raspberry, the streaks down its flanks were pinkish and the rump—Oh that rosy rump. It really doesn't take that much to ignite a smile, warm the cockles.
Yes, that's enough to chase away the post-Christmas letdown. Although, I do believe I have nog left in the frig. Must savor it though, it's darn hard to find in June.
And, once again, I did not get a leg lamp. What's a fellow have to do?

Love those Purple Finch! Some winters we have several of them and other times, none. This picture is a great capture! Happy New Year!
Your purple finch is lovely!
