Welcome to The New Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton -- our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools -- in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.
So...these are called Purple Finches---but they look pretty red to us---and many folks including your editor, have always called them Raspberry Finches....
And for the best nyjer seed and finch feeders, it's FEED THE BIRDS--326 S. RIVERSIDE AVENUE--(914) 862-4700

The blog has received some strident commentary that feeding the finches attracts bears and to please stop......please note: Bears love pungent black oil sunflower seeds and suet, so instead fill your feeders with seeds that they dislike, such as strong-flavored Nyjer and thistle. As always, the blog recommends that our trolls read more, react less...then repeat.
