I also had several female Purple Finches (Eastern in Sibley) yesterday coming into my feeders but mostly feeding on the ground.  Bold face pattern with white above and below the eye (lacking the eye ring of the Cassin's) and dark steaking.  This year I have also had male and female Cassin's for the first time so I wonder if they are mixed flocks widely foraging together.

[cobirds] CAFI sightings

Hey COBirders,

Just weighing in on the recent Cassin's Finch sightings.

I get at least a handful most winters in my backyard in NW Colorado Springs (Mountain Shadows neighborhood), and I band the ones I can catch in a net or baited traps.

This week I've caught about 10 so far, 4 today, all but one a hatch-year bird, and all of those unsexed since males don't usually show any red until after next summer. One was an adult female with adult rectrices. I'm seeing quite a few adult male birds in the yard also, but they are savvy enough to avoid my traps.

Looking back over my CAFI records, I usually band 5-10 each winter, some in the fall, some in deep winter, mostly after snows bring them down lower. But three years stood out for irruption numbers. Winter 2014-15 I banded 50+ birds, 2016-17 I banded 90+ birds, and 2020-21 I banded 50+ birds.

The 2016-17 numbers overlapped with an arrival of Red Crossbills, only the third time in 32 years here, and I was able to capture and band 8 of those.

(My neighbor also saw our FOS Steller's Jay and FOS Evening Grosbeak last week, but only on one day).

I'm mostly trying to catch wintering juncos, and I see a lot of site fidelity, with some banded birds return 2,3,4,and even 6 years after banding here in the yard. Most days I catch 2-3, but these couple of snow-covered days I have been banding more like 15-25. And while most winters I catch 1-2 White-winged Juncos, (the ones that winter here and breed in the Black Hills), this fall I've already caught and banded six.

Fun to see some diversity on these snowy days.

Good Winter Birding,
Steve Brown,
Colo Spgs

I have had a couple Cassin's Finches (both Female and Male) at my feeder throughout the past week or so here in Fort Collins.

Ditto – I was thinking the same thing. While Cassin's Finches are regular and, in some past years, common (6-10) at our feeders in pinyon/juniper habitat in Crestone, Saguache County, this morning I counted 32 individuals including only one adult male, with the rest females or immatures – bodes well for the species!

Same here -- two Cassin's Finches among dozens of hungry juncos, House Finches and House Sparrows, and a few chickadees and towhees.

Cassin's is a new yard bird for me here in east-central Denver.

About 10 days ago, we had a first eBird record for Cassin's in Denver City Park, a mile west.

Seems like there's a Cassin's irruption of sorts going on along the Front Range this late autumn.

[cobirds] Sad news

We are sad to announce the unexpected passing of Marilyn Rhodes. Marilyn was a Denver Audubon Master Birder, graduating class of 2009-2010, a wonderful field trip leader for Denver Audubon, a caring mentor to new field trip leaders, and very active on our photo contest committee. She led the Denver Botanic Gardens/Denver Country Club/Wash Park section of the annual Christmas Bird Count on January 1. Our Executive Director has fond memories of those New Year's Day counts in freezing temperatures, searching for as many birds as we could while enjoying the company of the hardy group led by Marilyn and Bob Santangelo (her co-leader), who had (Bob still has!) a great sense of humor.

Re: [cobirds] Abridged summary of cobirds@googlegroups.com - 4 updates in3 topics

Same here -- two Cassin's Finches among dozens of hungry juncos, House Finches and House Sparrows, and a few chickadees and towhees.
Cassin's is a new yard bird for me here in east-central Denver.
About 10 days ago, we had a first eBird record for Cassin's in Denver City Park, a mile west.
Seems like there's a Cassin's irruption of sorts going on along the Front Range this late autumn.

I had this Cassin's Finch at my feeder this morning in Colorado Springs!
First time ever!

I also had several female Purple Finches (Eastern in Sibley) yesterday coming into my feeders but mostly feeding on the ground.  Bold face pattern with white above and below the eye (lacking the eye ring of the Cassin's) and dark steaking.  This year I have also had male and female Cassin's for the first time so I wonder if they are mixed flocks widely foraging together.
