The Grey Warbler-Finch is another small, distinctive member of Darwin's Finches, endemic to the Galápagos Islands. It has a more grayish-brown plumage compared to its green counterpart, and is typically found in drier scrubby habitats.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Galápagos Islands, found on several islands including Genovesa, Marchena, Pinta, Española, San Cristóbal, Santa Fe, and Santa Cruz. Prefers drier lowland scrub and arid zones.
How to spot
Look for its small size, grayish-brown plumage, and slender bill. Observe its active, warbler-like movements as it gleans insects from vegetation. Listen for its high-pitched, often trilling song, distinct from other finches.
When to spot
Active year-round. Best observed during morning hours when foraging activity is high.
