[cobirds] Mts in the City (Take 2) - Cassin's Finch in SW Denver

Stepped out back (Athmar Park neighborhood, SW Denver Co.) after the Broncos game this afternoon (Sun. 4 Oct’26) to get some fresh air and had a nice male CASSIN’S FINCH pop up from our neighbor’s feeder into our yard in a continuation of mountain species down here in the plains.  It stuck around for the rest of the day fairly conspicuously calling and perching in the tops of the surrounding trees.  We have three feeding stations in the immediate area, so will see if he stays…unlike the female Evening Grosbeak I posted about a couple of days ago; if you are interested in chasing, please let me know separately.  As mentioned previously, we are off to an interesting season for our mountain species at lower elevations.

 

Good Mtn Birding,
