Cassin's Finch #8301

White Rock, NM

Carpodacus cassinii

We seem to get a larger variety of birds coming around when a storm is moving in. Today started out sunny, but clouds moved in around noon and we are expecting several inches of snow overnight. The birds seem to know this. (By 7PM, we indeed did have 4-5 inches of snow.) We had a Spotted Towhee drop by and rustle the leaves on the ground, looking for bugs I think, but I was not able to get a clear picture of him. I hope he comes back.

What a great capture and interesting reading all about the bird. I would just have assumed it was a house finch if it had stopped by my house and I would have been wrong...
