New Feedercam in Alta, Utah for Rosy-Finches! Rosy-Finches!
Collaborative Utah Rosy-Finch Feedercam
This is a collaborative with @Friends of Alta, Tracy Aviary, Central Wasatch Commission, and the The Finchmasters – Finch Research Network
This was a scene from yesterday, but I just checked and the Rosy-Finches (mostly Gray-crowned but a few Black-Rosies as well) have been visiting again this morning along with the entertaining Clark’s Nutcrackers, Steller’s Jays, Mountain Chickadees and occasional woodpeckers.
Click on the Alta stream, but there are also FiRN streams from the Adirondacks, NY, Casper, Wyoming…… and Foothills, Alberta where there are Evening Grosbeaks.

Other Finch Feedercams:
With the sponsorship of Aspen Song Bird Seed feedercams for finches have taken place in Woodland Maine, Newcomb, NY and Casper Wyoming. These will hopefully help educate about healthy bird feeding practices and also bring wellness for people through watching finches, which are perhaps most common cohort of birds at feeders across the world.
The feedercam didn’t happen in Woodland, Maine this year because Bill had to move and attend to some family health issues. It sounds like the Maine feedercam will be back up next fall 2025 though.
New Finch Research Network Feedercam in the Adirondacks, NY
The Finch Research Network is excited to announce a new collaborative feedercam at the SUNY-ESF Newcomb Campus which is also known as Adirondack Interpretive Center. It is also a collaborative project with Aspen Song Wild Bird Food.
It occasionally gets Evening Grosbeaks (see screenshot below) and Purple Finches, and just this morning at 9:41-9:42 a flock of Type 12 Red Crossbills could be heard flying around, which has happened a number of times. Lots of Goldfinches are present daily, and Pine Siskins drop in every few days.
New Finch Research Network Feedercam in Casper, Wyoming
The The Finchmasters – Finch Research Network is excited to announce a new collaborative feedercam with Zachariah Hutchinson and Flocking Around in Casper, Wyoming. It is also a collaborative project with Aspen Song Wild Bird Food .
The plan as of now is for this to be a year round feeder. In the last couple weeks It also has had occasional Pine Siskins, Cassin’s Finches, a lone eastern Purple Finch and Evening Grosbeaks…..in addition to Magpies and much more! I’m told in spring the House Finches will be largely replaced by Cassin’s Finches. Lesser and A. Goldfinches are also around. A few weeks ago a Redpoll dropped in too and in the past Red Crossbill have been seen at the feeder as well. And during spring snowstorms Gray-crowned Rosy-Finches are possible too. So there is good potential for 10 species of finches and much more! Enjoy!
The Maine Feedercam will be back November 2026!
The health benefits of watching nature and birds are endless, and more and more studies continue to be published about these benefits, and if there was one silver lining to COVID, it was how people found calm and peace while engaging with nature whether by getting outdoors, or even by watching birds at feeders or on feedercams.
Stay tuned for Feedercams in the coming years.
