It took a trip to Kazakhstan to see more pink finches. On a single wonderful day to the semi-desert of eastern Kazakhstan I added two pink finches to my life list, the Mongolian Finch at the top of this post and the Desert Finch above. Someday I hope to go back and add Trumpeter Finch to my Central Asian pink finch sightings.

I am pretty sure this is a migrant Blyth’s, seen in Kazakhstan in May. Heck, even bird banders / ringers get around 7 % of the Reed Warblers they handle wrong ! Option two: abandon bird.
