Last week, a small flock of Purple House Finches and a lone male House Finch visited my feeder in Fuquay Varina North Carolina.

Since I often receive questions on how to tell the difference between House Finches and Purple Finches, I took the opportunity to put together a short video highlighting the two species.

Hope that it’s useful to ya!
Thanks for watching & happy birding.
