Newbe post re Cassin's Finch
After reading another thread I've discovered that the Cassin's Finch may be one of our feeder visitors. Strange that before the last year I don't think I've ever seen one here before. I was wondering if someone could posibly tell me a little about their range. I'm in Northern Louisiana riverbottom with farms clossest to my edge of town home and pine timber not far away.
I would post pic but so far I do not have one thats good enough to post here. Could someone also maybe tell me if there are any others for me to look up that may be close to Cassin's Finch other than Purple Finch. The reds on the questioned bird are on the red orange side. The only thing which makes me wonder looking at the database pics of Cassin's Finch is that the female there does not exhibit any red markings while what I think is female here shows some smaller red markings.
Please excuse my lack of good scientific description of markings because I'm green at descripitions anatomicaly.
