Lives, Habitats & Pictures of the Rosy-Finches

The Rosy-Finches live in the highest altitude of all finches found in North America. There are three types of Rosy-Finches found on the North American continent. These finches are seen in large flocks, often times visiting local bird feeders in the winter months.

The rosy-finches all have similar appearances, identified by different plumages. The Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch has three sub-species or races, the interior race, exterior race or Hepburn's and a race found in the western regions of Alaska, out onto the ocean islands. The Black Rosy-Finch is found in the mountains of the western states. The Brown-capped Rosy-Finch is found in a small area of three central states.
