- Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S119338288

Mixed flock with house finches, which flushed to different areas but mostly returned to the area around the stone bench and to the east of the bike jump. Spizella with relatively long tail, small bill, unstreaked breast. both appeared on the brighter side to me overall, but with streaked nape, thin complete white eye ring, weaker contrast to face pattern than clay-colored. Indistinct or lacking median crown stripe."
