Observation details
Was walking in backyard and saw a very bright finch land on the fence I thought immediately it was another Purple Finch, but this time a male. It didn’t stay very long but flew back. I got the Merlin app and played the call and it immediately responded. I turned on the recording part of the app and it did catch two or three call notes. Merlin confirmed that it was a Purple Finch. This was the first male although I’ve seen females three times in this same spot so far this month. ADDENDUM:: About 10 minutes after I filed this sighting using the Merlin app, I turned to go back to the house when I heard the distinct song of the Purple Finch. I recorded it on the Merlin app and the bird flew down and perched in some high weeds only about 20 feet away..
