Birders -
I recently received a nice photo of a GRAY-CROWNED ROSY-FINCH (Leucosticte
tephrocotis wallowa) from Mark Penninger, of La Grande, OR., via Mariah
Blackhorse from Joseph, OR. She was hiking up the Matterhorn when she
photographed this beauty. According to Birds of Oregon, "This is one of two
avian taxa endemic to Oregon (a Wrentit ssp. is the other). This subspecies
is
typically darker, less tawny and reddish-brown overall, than L.t.
littoralis, which apparently breeds in the Blues and Cascade Mountains."
