Cassin's Finches in Snowbird, Utah

One of the points to always remember when watching birds in a montane area such as Snowbird, Utah, is that although the birds to be found there are quite interesting, beautiful, and not always easily seen at lower elevations, there are also fewer species in general to be observed. One of the species that is regularly seen is the Cassin’s Finch. The males are absolutely stunning in their raspberry red-headed plumage.

Occasionally, a camera shy Pine Siskin perched alongside a more colorful Cassin’s Finch would be digitally captured by the BirdCam.
