The Puna Yellow Finch is a bright yellow finch inhabiting the high-altitude puna grasslands of the Andes. It is one of several similar yellow finches, distinguished by its specific range and subtle features.
Where to spot
High-altitude puna grasslands and open rocky slopes of the central Andes, from Peru south through Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina, typically between 3,000 and 4,800 meters.
How to spot
Look for its bright yellow plumage against the sparse high-Andean landscape. It often perches on rocks or low vegetation. Differentiate it from other yellow finches by its specific habitat and vocalizations.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed during daylight hours when active. Avoid extreme weather conditions common at high altitudes.
