Poor Little Purple Finch


This poor little fellow must have flown into the clear window of the newly-installed front door at my house in the North Country.  Or it might be the back door.  We're slowly remodeling and rebuilding in order to turn the house's back on the road out front.  There's some confusion about the new and seldom-used door that faces the road...formal front door...fire escape back door?   But it's not as confusing as calling this little friend "purple."  You'd sooner call him a "pink" finch or a "red" finch.  But it's nice that "purple" wins one.  I mean, think about it, a lot of purple things are called red: redbuds, red cabbage, and red onions.  I'm glad "purple" gets the finches...
