Oh, OK, in the spirit of over-reporting... This morning at the Pittock Mansion I saw a uniformly dark brown bird with a slightly lighter, very faintly streaked breast. No wing bars. Appeared to have a finch/bunting bill. About the size of the House Finches nearby. The bird was foraging in the blackberries below the big European White Birch (aka the "Parula Betula") at the east end of the Mansion lawn. I lost it in the weeds before I could get a definitive look. For what it's worth...
