The Bolivian Warbling Finch is a charming and common species found in the high-altitude dry scrublands of Bolivia and northern Argentina. Its melodious song is a characteristic sound of its habitat.
Where to spot
High-altitude dry scrublands and rocky slopes of Bolivia and extreme northern Argentina, typically found between 2,000 and 3,500 meters.
How to spot
Look for it foraging on the ground or low in bushes. It often perches conspicuously to sing. Its plumage is subtly patterned, so focus on its overall shape, behavior, and vocalizations.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Listen for its song, especially during the breeding season, when males are actively defending territories.
