How many...... Finches 1 ( Fringillidae) (1 Viewer)

[chris butterworth]

As I've occasionally been berated for choosing bird families that exclude "colonials" I thought " Finches ( real ones ) are practically universal. They have a bunch of them in the Antipodes and even the North Americans can ( sometimes) stick the right name on a species "

Not seen that many, just some of the usual suspects from the UK:

Bullfinch
Chaffinch
Goldfinch
Greenfinch
Linnet
Siskin

Have yet to see any Redpolls, Crossbills, Hawfinch, Twite or Brambling but am sure I'll see some of those as time goes on. Have certainly been to places where Brambling, Crossbills, Redpolls and Twite are found and probably could see Hawfinches around Essex if I was lucky and prepared to make a trip especially to see them.

 

[Jeff Hopkins]

Fringillidae (from my Clements Listing Checklist) * Euphonias,etc. not included (are they Fringilldae now?)

According to the Clements Spreadsheet Ver. 6.5 I have they are.

 

[chris butterworth]

Probably shouldn't have posted looking again as I've no idea what fring.. and estril... are! Apologies if upset anyone, probably shouldn't post in these threads really given the in-depth taxonomical nature of some of them but keep getting the urge to, partly for the slight gleefulness of posting the small numbers I've seen in contrast with the huge lists people love to post.

If we'd all seen everything imagine how boring it would be!

 

[Larry Lade]

Well, since the Euphonias are now Fringillids, here goes:

In Costa Rica:
Scrub Euphonia
Thick-billed Euphonia
Yellow-throated Euphonia
Blue-hooded Euphonia
Golden-browned Chlorophonia

In Eucuador:
White-lored Euphonia
White-vented Euphonia
Orange-bellied Euphonia
