Santa Marta Brush Finch

Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montanes and heavily degraded former forest.

The Santa Marta Brush Finch is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.

Santa Marta Brush Finch visited the feeders as well and became a common bird for the rest of our time here. Some Keel-billed Toucans were flying around but the feeders kept drawing our attention with visits from Andean Emerald, Green-crowned Woodnymph, Tyrian Metaltail, Green Violetear, Black-capped Tanager, and Black-headed Tanager. When the fog lifted we had good views of the Crested Oropendolas nesting in a nearby Cecropia. After lunch, we worked our way on foot further up the hill toward San Lorenzo. More
