Cassin's Finch - Sasquatch Ski Resort, BC Cassin's finch are usually found in the interior of British Columbia in the drier areas. This year a flock of them were up in the rain forest areas of Sasquatch Ski Resort. It is very difficult to identify the three red to purple finches where they might overlap in range. The signs that this is a Cassin's is the brown nape, the white eyering, and the pointier bill. This is a male, where the female have no red to speak of. Michael W Klotz - www.TheBirdBlogger.com 2022
