An Early Fall Record of the Hepburn Rosy Finch

Online Full Text

On October 30, 1322, between twenty-five and thirty Hepburn Rosy Finches (Leucosticte tephrocotis littoralis) were seen in a flock about the buildings and corrals at Midway Stage Station, between Imnaha and Enterprise, Oregon. The actions of this flock reminded one of English Sparrows, feeding about the yard and flying to the roofs and ridgepoles of the outbuildings as they did. While this finch is locally common in this part of the state during midwinter, I have no previous knowledge of its occurrence on the plains so early in the fall.

Portland, Oregon, November 7, 1922
