Therese's Snowfinch is a poorly known and range-restricted species found in the high mountains of Afghanistan. It is a robust bird of arid, alpine environments.
Where to spot
High-altitude mountainous regions of central and eastern Afghanistan. Inhabits rocky alpine and subalpine zones with sparse vegetation.
How to spot
Requires significant effort to locate. Look for typical snowfinch behavior – foraging on rocky ground. Distinguishing it from other snowfinches requires very careful observation of subtle plumage details.
When to spot
Year-round resident, but observation is challenging due to the remote and difficult terrain.
