Lepidus Rosy Finch

Carpodacus lepidus

The Lepidus Rosy Finch is a small passerine bird found in the mountainous regions of western North America. It is characterized by its rosy-pink plumage on the head, back, and wings, with a contrasting grayish-brown color on the underparts. These finches are often seen foraging for seeds and insects in alpine and subalpine habitats, particularly in rocky areas and near snowfields. They are known for their resilience in harsh, high-altitude environments, where they form small flocks during the breeding season. The Lepidus Rosy Finch is a delightful sight for birdwatchers exploring the remote and rugged landscapes of its range.

Habitat: Alpine and subalpine rocky areas
