This Purple Finch (assumed at first by me to be a female based on visual appearance, though I now realize it could be a first-year male) was vocalizing in our backyard apple tree. I thought it was interesting to hear the bird mimicking a California Scrub-Jay. A brief video of this bird is at https://youtu.be/TP6s_M2kskc.
