The Yellow-billed Inca-finch is a charming tanager recognized by its bright yellow bill and distinctive facial pattern. It is an inhabitant of the dry Andean valleys of Peru.
Where to spot
Endemic to arid scrub and rocky slopes in the inter-Andean valleys of central Peru, typically at elevations from 1,800 to 3,500 meters.
How to spot
Focus on its contrasting yellow bill, which is its most obvious field mark. It often forages on the ground or in low, thorny bushes. Listen for its calls to help locate individuals within its dry habitat.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed during periods of higher activity, such as early morning, when it is actively foraging.
