Scarlet Tanager(s) Brampton

[cairnstone]

There is at least 1 (and possibly more) Scarlet Tanager(s) in Carleton Park, Brampton, this morning. I have seen it (them) several times this morning. There are also several singing Purple Finches, a couple of Brown Thrashers and the usual raptors.

The Scarlet Tanager(s) are still there, saw it/them several times today. Missed the Purple Finch, which was my main target, but got some interesting migrants including a Lincoln's Sparrow and late Rose-breasted Grosbeak and Ruby-throated Hummingbird.

Yes I also saw 2 Scarlet Tanagers this morning around 9ish hanging around a tall Buckthorn in the south end of the park. I did not see any Purple Finches today either.
