Description
Slightly less well known than its lookalikes (House Finch and Purple Finch), the Cassin's Finch is the characteristic rosy-tinged finch of the mountains of western North America. Small flocks twitter and forage in the tall evergreen forests and in groves of quaking aspen. Along with range and habitat, a good way to sort them out is to learn the Cassin's Finch's peaked head shape and thick, straight-edged bill. Males sing a rollicking song that includes mimicked calls of other birds.
This one was found above 10,000 feet in the forests of the Uinta Mountains in Utah.
