Geocache Description:


The medium Tree-finch, Camarhynchus pauper, is listed as critically endangered as it is only found on the island of Floreana (Galápagos) at elevations above 250 meters in moist highland forest habitats.



Its bill is moderately curved on both upper and lower edges, and slightly longer than it is deep. Male has a black hood, brownish-olive upperparts, and a pale belly. Female is tan with whitish underparts. Both sexes have faint streaking on the breast. Bill is black on breeding male and orange on female and non-breeding male. Large Tree-Finch has larger and more bulbous bill. Small Tree-Finch has slightly smaller bill and body. Identification is much easier when more than one species is present to allow direct comparison. Medium Tree-Finch inhabits forest mainly in the highlands but is occasionally seen closer to the coast, where it may be only a seasonal visitor.

Placement of this geocache has been approved by Rob Rossmanith, Park Biologist.
