HOUSE FINCH 



The House Finch, or 'Linnet,' as it is best known in California, is a non- 

 migratory species of the western United States, ranging north to Oregon, 

 Idaho, and Wyoming, and south to Mexico; it is abundant east to the 

 eastern foothills of the Rocky Mountains and less common to western Kansas 

 and middle Texas. It has been separated into several subspecies, and the 

 above is the range of the most common form frontalis. The San Lucas House 

 Finch, ruberrimus, occupies the southern half of Lower California, while the 

 San Clemente House Finch, dementis, occupies the islands off the coasts of 

 southern California and northern Lower California. 



Two other species of House Finch occur in Lower California. The Guada- 

 lupe House Finch lives on the island from which it derives its name, and 

 McGregor's House Finch occurs on San Benito Island. All these species and 

 subspecies of the House Finch are non-migratory.
