Then when I came back indoors I saw a "brownie" Purple
Finch at the feeder. Wonder what would show up if I had more time to look.

Hi Janet.
Birding at Blue Mash on Saturday with a group from The Backyard Naturalist
we saw 4-5 "brownie" Purple Finches. Here at home on Sunday while walking the
dog, I had my first purple Purple Finch this season, a pretty male in the
hedgerow. I've been seeing them at Layhill Park for the past couple of weeks
too.
Red-tailed Hawks seem to be making a push through this weekend too.
