Besides the Finch there was a strange sparrow(?) as previously posted.
Also in addition to a good variety of warblers there were 1000+ Franklin's
Gulls migrating north and stopping to rest on the island today. Quite an
impressive sight!

Protocol: Traveling
0.1 mile(s)
Comments: Red finch with uniform red of face and head. Faint mask or
dark we red the through eye. Upper chest faint red or pinkish color.
Light streaking on flanks but no streaks under tail. Many birders saw this
bird as they were there for a fallout, and consensus was Purple Finch, vs
very similar Cassin's Finch. <br />Submitted from BirdLog NA for iOS,
