Spotted
The Mangrove Finch is an extremely rare and critically endangered member of Darwin's Finches, endemic to specific mangrove habitats on two islands in the Galápagos. It is a medium-sized, drab bird adapted to this unique coastal environment.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Galápagos Islands, found only in restricted mangrove forests on Isabela and Fernandina islands. Its habitat is extremely specialized and limited.
How to spot
Observing this bird is incredibly difficult due to its rarity and dense habitat. Look for a drab, medium-sized finch moving through mangrove foliage. Listen for its high-pitched, clear song, which may be the best way to detect its presence.
When to spot
Active year-round, but observations are extremely rare due to its low population and specific habitat. Best to attempt observation during early mornings.
This highly specialized finch is one of the most critically endangered bird species in the world, with intensive conservation efforts underway to save it from extinction, including captive breeding and parasite control programs.
