Very nice! Though I believe Purple FInch is more likely.
Thanks, Doug.
I too, thought at first that it was a Purple Finch. However, p.451 of the
Sibley Guide shows both; and Cassin's Finch has a white spot below the eye,
which the more common Purple Finch does not. Otherwise, it's hard to tell!
Anyway, the 'dickie bird' in my photo has the white spot, so I'm sticking
with Cassin's Finch ... at least for now!
Thanks for looking. :)
David.
