The Grey-crowned Rosy Finch is a hardy finch known for its distinctive grey cap and rosy-pink markings on its wings and belly, especially vibrant in males.
Where to spot
Found in high mountains across North America, from Alaska and western Canada south through the Rockies. It inhabits alpine tundra, rocky scree, and sometimes coastal cliffs in Alaska.
How to spot
Scan rocky slopes and snowy areas above the tree line. In winter, look for them at bird feeders in mountain communities. Their grey crown is a key identifier.
When to spot
Present year-round in its alpine habitats, though it may descend to lower elevations in harsh winters, sometimes visiting feeders.

These birds are incredibly cold-tolerant and often feed at the edges of snowfields and glaciers, adapting to extreme alpine conditions.
