The Rufous-necked Snowfinch is a striking high-altitude bird characterized by its rufous collar or neck band. It is found on the desolate Tibetan Plateau and surrounding ranges.
Where to spot
High-altitude grasslands, rocky slopes, and arid plains of the Tibetan Plateau and surrounding ranges (China, Nepal, Bhutan, India).
How to spot
Look for its distinctive rufous collar, which is a key identification feature. It forages on the ground, often in small flocks. Its calls are often heard before the bird is seen.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active during the breeding season (spring/summer) at high elevations.
This species is incredibly hardy, often enduring temperatures well below freezing in its high-altitude habitat.
