A couple of Purple Finches! I only ever see these guys during migration times, and usually only for one or two days. This video starts with a female House Finch who is then joined by the Purples. If you look closely, you will notice differences between the species. Especially the male has some features that clearly distinguish him from his House Finch counterpart (dots instead of stripes on chest and belly, red on the wings, a pronounced darker bar on the face and a very active crest). I hope they stick around, I want photos too!
