GBBC Day 2

So I did spend another 15 minutes counting birds for the Great Backyard Bird Count today. And was once again surprised by seeing a bird I hadn't yet seen this year - a purple finch. I usually have some purple finches and house finches here most winters, but today was the first sighting. Also saw the brown creeper that I saw yesterday again today. Clearly I'm not usually paying enough attention to what's out there! 

This photo is the purple finch - a male - stuffing his face with some goldfinches and a white-throated sparrow.
