I went to a local park (Cosca Regional Park) hoping the Purple Finches were still there, particularly the males (already got shots of the female). I planned to spend a couple hours there waiting for them before I visited Merkle Wildlife Sanctuary. When I got there I saw 2 finches and thought man my day is starting off right, except they were the male and female house finch. Then as a started looking around the area, I spotted 2 male purple. They eventually gave me the opportunity to capture some images. After they left 2 females came around. So within an hour, I had met my quota, so I was off to Merkle Wildlife Sanctuary. Hopefully this is a sign of my luck this season.
