Sighting

After going over the recording I had of the Finch with Bartshe Miller and Kristie Nelson, the consensus is that the Carpodacus I saw this morning is a Cassin's Finch, not a Purple. It has a different quality than the Purple, and also includes a little mimicking, which is something Cassin's do readily but Purples do not. Oops.
