Migration

Resident to medium-distance migrant. Many Cassin’s Finches remain on their breeding grounds year-round. Birds at the far north of the species’ breeding range move south in late summer or early fall. Some Cassin’s Finches move south into the mountains of Mexico, returning to their breeding grounds by April or May. Throughout their range, some birds move to lower elevations to avoid the coldest parts of winter.
