Hello Tweeters,



I have a behavior question. Why is it that when I track down a singing
Purple or Cassin's Finch it is most often a female?



For years, I have observed this behavior in the Purple Finches around my
house and on a recent central Washington trip the Cassin's females were
singing up a storm.



Thanks!
