This secretive species is only found in northern Columbia. It is listed as critically endangered.
Some members of our conservation team went up to Alta last week to help @utahdwr band some of the cutest birds ever: Rosy-finches! ๐ฅน
As a species of concern, we collaborate with our friends at the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources to help monitor these elusive birds. The information gathered from the banding efforts helps biologists learn more about migration patterns and other crucial data! ๐
Want to catch a glimpse of these birds? You can spot them on our livestream over on our YouTube channel. Click the link in our bio to check in on them anytime!
