The Brown-capped Rosy Finch is a distinctive mountain finch, named for its brown cap that contrasts with a grey face and rosy-pink wash on the wings and belly of males.
Where to spot
Endemic to the high Rocky Mountains of the United States, particularly Colorado and surrounding states. It inhabits alpine tundra and rocky slopes.
How to spot
Explore high-altitude trails in the Rockies. Look for them foraging on the ground or perched on rocks. The brown cap and grey face are key identifiers.
When to spot
Present year-round in its alpine habitat. During severe winters, they may descend to lower elevations and can be seen at feeders in mountain towns.
