Spotted
Goering's Mountain-finch is a localized species endemic to the Venezuelan Andes, characterized by its distinctive plumage pattern and preference for high-altitude scrub.
Where to spot
Endemic to the humid montane scrub and paramo edges of the Venezuelan Andes, typically at elevations between 2,000 and 3,000 meters.
How to spot
Scan paramo and high-altitude scrub, often near forest edges. It can be somewhat shy, so patient observation is key. Note its specific head and breast markings for identification.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed in the early morning when it is most active and vocal.
This species is named after ornithologist Hermann Goering (a German naturalist, not the infamous Nazi official), highlighting its scientific discovery in the early 20th century.
