This is the whole flock of 4-6 Purple Finches flying out of the olive tree where they were feeding. Both classic western flight calls and the eastern/santa cruz type flight calls together. Presumably from different individuals but not certain of it. This may or may not include the two female types that I got the other recordings and photographs of. Wind chimes and rooster plus high winds and car noise make for a mediocre recording.
Observasjonsdetaljer
They were feeding on olives in the olive tree. I got a few recordings of various parts of the whole flock of 6, and I thoroughly photographed and recorded two female types that kept coming back to the olive after most had left. Those two and at least one or two of the others sounded like eastern flight calls to me, but close looks showed that both of them were clearly western plumage-wise. One was much greener than the other, but both showed blurrier and less contrasty streaking and face patterning as well as heavily dark-marked undertail coverts. Two males I saw looked western too. At least two birds in the flock gave normal western type flight calls.
