Yes, that’s a yearling male, one hatched in 2020. They molt out of the female-looking plumage in body feathers, but they keep their juvenal primaries, which are more brown than black. Best, Kevin Kevin McGowan Freeville From: bounce-125638932-3493...@list.cornell.edu On Behalf Of Barbara

Hi Matt, Yes, I think that is very likely, and I probably mis-id'ed this bird. I did not note the bold markings typical of the female R-b Grosbeak. In my haste to pin it down I eliminated the House FInch and completely lapsed on the Purple Finch. Asher On Sun, Apr 2, 2017 at 9:46 PM, Matthew

Very cool bird! As far as I can tell, Miller Creek drains south, and South Danby Road is outside the Cayuga Lake Basin. It's exciting to hear what birds are just beyond and contemplating migrating beyond the next set of hills or through the next saddle as they make their way north. --Dave
