A Few Late Birds and a Few Interesting Ones Too!

My birding route and the birds seen on Sunday weren't that different from the week before. There were a few late migrants that came in though. I saw a Black-and-White Warbler in Tupelo Field and heard a singing Red-Eyed Vireo at the field near 79 st. At nearby Maintenance Field I saw a Field Sparrow while sifting through the mixed flocks of other sparrows. I also heard from birders there that Purple Finches had been reported at the feeders. I supposed it was worth a go and right when I arrived, there was a female Purple Finch there.
