Cassin's Finches



A pair of male Cassin's finches were visiting the platform feeders this morning. They look similar to house finches, but their coloring is more rosy-pink, instead of orange-red. House finches have more stripes on their bellies and wear brown crowns.

Cherisse - thank you so much for stopping by. I love the critter visitors to my yard and every year, I see something new :)
