Since I haven't seen a recent update I thought I would mention that the Brambling wasn't seen during the 3 hours in the late morning/early afternoon today I was able to devote to looking for it. As far as I am aware it wasn't seen after about 1030 AM, though at times the flock of 20ish Evening Grosbeaks was present. I'm not sure if the bird was seen late in the afternoon, but I haven't seen any reports of it since. A Sharp-shinned Hawk made several passes; perhaps the reason why the Brambling didn't show. Just a heads up for those thinking of making the drive this weekend.
On another note, I was "successful" in adding another deer to my car's hit list on the drive up. See directions below.
