The Taiwan Rosefinch is an endemic species to the island of Taiwan, known for the male's deep rosy-red coloration. Females are generally duller, with a more muted, streaky brown appearance.
Where to spot
Endemic to the island of Taiwan, typically found in central and southern mountain ranges. It inhabits broadleaf and coniferous forests, often in the undergrowth or at forest edges.
How to spot
Explore mountainous forest trails and listen for their distinctive calls. They can be shy, so quiet observation and scanning dense foliage are recommended.
When to spot
Present year-round in its Taiwanese habitat. Best observed during the breeding season (spring/summer) when activity and singing are highest.
