At least 8 and at least 2 juveniles with one seen begging and being fed at one point. Sound recordings obtained and sent to Matthew Young from The Finchmasters - Finch Research Network. Photos and sound recordings TBA. Matt provided the following comment: “Type 4… And the chittoo calls are juvy begging calls… Most likely all Type 4 will head back west soon in the next month… They’re a western call type. Best invasion of them In The northeast in at least 25 years.”
