He is commemorated himself in the names of a number of birds from western North America, including the Cassin's Auklet, Cassin's Kingbird, Cassin's Vireo, Cassin's Sparrow, and Cassin's Finch.

Barbara Cassin (born October 24, 1947) is a French philologist and philosopher, born in 1947 in Boulogne-Billancourt.
The near-threatened* Bachman's Sparrow, the endangered* Red-cockaded Woodpecker and the Pileated Woodpecker, whose drum-like peck can be heard over long distances, all nest here.
It nests on offshore islands, with the main population stronghold being Triangle Island off Vancouver Island's Cape Scott, where the population is estimated to be around 550,000 pairs.
This distinguishes it from Fischer's Sparrow-Lark, Eremopterix leucopareia which lacks the white spot.
It can be distinguished from the similar Chestnut-headed Sparrow-Lark, Eremopterix signata, by the absence of a white patch on the crown of its head.
In 1931, he was the first ornithologist to find the eggs of the Harris's Sparrow, one of the last North American birds to have its nest and eggs described.
Some authors considered this species to be the same as the Iago Sparrow, and some recognise only some of the rufous sparrows as separate from the Great Sparrow, but the Handbook of the Birds of the World recognises the Socotra Sparrow, Kenya Sparrow, Kordofan Sparrow, and Shelley's Sparrow.
The easier route to the summit is quoted TD but more difficult routes exist, many on them on vertical ice and with overhanging section of mixed terrain such as the Cassin route (70° ice and a pitch rated UIAA IV+).
She continued to publish in major journals as late as 2006; Callaloos post-Katrina issue featured "Three Love Poems by a Native," which Cassin also read during an October 26, 1995 interview with WWNO-FM's Fred Kasten.

Despite failing health and artistic isolation, Cassin communicated with other poets, artists, and friends through the World Wide Web, usually through messages typed in all-capital letters.
The first ascent of the peak was in 1976 by Russell McLean and Charlie Porter (fresh from the first solo of the Cassin Ridge on Mount McKinley).
The Northern Grey-headed Sparrow is replaced in eastern and southern Africa by very similar birds that are sometimes considered races of this species: Swainson's Sparrow, the Parrot-billed Sparrow, the Swahili Sparrow, and the Southern Grey-headed Sparrow.
The birds also use cavities in buildings, and the old nests of the Ethiopian Swallow and African Sand Martin.
By protecting this area, the appeal will conserve habitat for the Worthen's Sparrow, Long-billed Curlew, Burrowing Owl, Mountain Plover, Sprague's Pipit, and Ferruginous Hawk.

The song is a dry, chipping trill of 2–3 second duration, and is described as a cross between that of the Field Sparrow and Chipping Sparrow.
