Title: purple finch? Palm, Cape May, Yellow-rumped Warbler?
Post by: jnish on October 08, 2016, 03:58:09 PM

I'm pretty sure this is a purple finch.  I've never seen one before, so seeking confirmation.

The next three photos are of one bird.  It has an eye-bar, which rules out yellow-rumped warbler I believe.  I would appreciate your help again.  Many thanks!!  (Maybe it's a vireo?!)

First one looks good for Purple Finch.  House Finch has browner streaks on flanks.
