The Black Rosy Finch is a striking mountain finch, with males displaying an almost entirely dark, sooty-black plumage with rosy-pink markings on the wings and belly. Females are duller.
Where to spot
Found in the mountainous western United States, particularly the Rocky Mountains and Great Basin ranges. It inhabits high-altitude rocky areas, scree slopes, and alpine tundra.
How to spot
Scan high-altitude rocky areas. The overall dark plumage with rosy highlights is characteristic. In winter, visit areas with feeders at mountain lodges.
When to spot
Visible year-round in its alpine habitat. In winter, it often descends to slightly lower elevations and may visit feeders or open areas.
