Species, Age and Sex Identification in Rosy-Finches

While classifying adult rosy-finches by species is usually quite straightforward, females and first-year birds can sometimes pose challenges. Participants are encouraged to post photo quizzes, photos of difficult-to-identify rosy-finches, and exchange views and ID tips.
Banding reports, photos and links to news and research items relevant to this topic are welcomed. This is also the place for those who plan to visit Sandia Crest to ask questions and obtain information to help in planning a birding trip.
