The Small Tree-Finch is one of the smaller members of Darwin's Finches, endemic to the Galápagos Islands. It has a relatively slender bill compared to its larger tree-finch relatives, and is agile in its foraging for insects and plant matter.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Galápagos Islands, found on several major islands including Isabela, Fernandina, Santa Cruz, Santiago, Pinta, and Marchena. Inhabits humid highland forests, transition zones, and some drier areas.
How to spot
Look for its small size and relatively slender bill compared to other tree-finches. Males have darker heads. Listen for its rapid, often two-part song, 'teew-teew,' or a quick trill. It is often found foraging in the mid-story of trees.
When to spot
Active year-round. Best observed during morning hours when birds are most active, foraging in trees and shrubs.

This species, despite its commonality on some islands, often suffers from nest parasitism by the introduced avian vampire fly (*Philornis downsi*), which poses a significant threat to young finches.
