Dirt often gets onto the focusing screen and you can see it in the viewfinder. Dirt on the mirror is not seen. But if the OP say it's a big blob then blowing the focusing screen should remove it or at least move it. If it doesn't move then it could be a rare case where it's inside the viewfinder on top of the focusing screen.
Thanks for your reply. I guess I made a mistake in terminology. It Must be the focusing screen I’m looking at. And yes Im a rarity because it is on top. I’ll call Nikon tech support.

Sounds like it is on the prism rather than inside the viewfinder. Have you tried to "wet clean" the prism?
Yes.
It is on the prism but on the inside surface. I can see up through it with a flashlight. The prism is somewhat transparent enough to see.

Images are clear, the mirror is clean, I can see the particle when looking up through the prism resting right in the center.

I’ve had my Nikon D3400 for about 6 months. I noticed the other day a dirt speck and what might be a dust particle when looking through the viewfinder. I’ve determined that is is inside the viewfinder. Images are fine and I can look up through the prism and can see the particle. I tried blowing air around the prism but to no avail.
Don’t know how it’s possible that anything can get inside there but it has.
The large particle is right next to the center focus point. Very distracting.
Is there a way to clean it outside of sending it back to Nikon?

I love watching squirrels, but I know they can be quite the nuisance, especially when it comes to bird feeders. Good luck, but can you put out a little treat for the furry critters too?
I like them too and put out scraps that they eat.

Some years ago I did the same thing with a plastic pot.
Worked for a while, then the critters started to chew away at the plastic and eventually ate their way to the feeder.

I thought of that and plan to wrap some hardware cloth inside the “bell” to prevent them from getting too far inside. At least this will keep me active in my old age

But I hope the war. Time will tell.
First is a photo I posted previously lamenting on the difficulty of dealing with these critters.
The second (Not a good shot, had to shoot through glass) is my solution attempt. I used an inverted planter box, cut a square hole in the bottom and attached with L brackets.
They have spent the last 4 days trying to figure out a way to beat me, but so far...so good. I'll keep you posted.
My birds are happy

Great shot Bob. You must have seen the water reflection from above and surmised the look from beneath the bridge.
