Carpodacus cassinii
A few years ago, we had a large flock of Cassin's Finches for most of the spring. This year, I have
seen only two, one a female, and this one a male. Superficially resembling
a House Finch, the Cassin's Finch has a different bill shape, is a larger bird, and its
feathers tend much more toward pink instead of the orange-red of the House Finch.
