The Tin Mountain Conservation Center is sponsoring a free Zoom program on Evening Grosbeaks: The Road to Recovery. The Zoom presentation is Thursday 15 January 2026 from 7-8 PM. The guest speaker is Matt Young, founder of the Finch Research Network, and co-author of the Stokes Guide to Finches of the United States and Canada.
With a 92% decline since 1970, Evening Grosbeak (Coccothraustes vespertinus) was cited as the steepest declining landbird in the continental United States and Canada. The Evening Grosbeak Road to RecoveryProject aims to better understand the causes for this decline and monitor the current population. Matt Young, will share what the data has shown them. Young will also introduce viewers to some of the 43 finches of the United States and Canada from feeder-favorite goldfinches to Red Crossbill tribes, to least known mountain-top Black Rosy-Finches to endangered Hawaiian honeycreepers.
