Cassin's Finch

Cassin's Finch is a bird new to our feeders and new to us. They have started coming recently and suddenly we've seen a lot of them. They are similar at first glance to the very common House Finch (of which I've posted an inset) but are distinguished by the brilliant red crown, longer wings and unstreaked breast. Unlike the House Finch their range is limited to the west, from Mexico up into British Columbia.

A great series, Ron. Fascinating that these are moving into your area, are there any obvious reasons? With that red cap they certainly are distinctive.

I love his little red cap.

I have noticed birds in New England that do not normally come here. I wonder whether it has anything to do with climate change.
