Geocache Description:


While there are not too many finch species that call Florida home, I do have a special affinity to these birds. Not sure why I do. wink

My series of 10 caches will focus on what are know as "Darwin Finches". There are about 18 species of these birds found on the Galapagos Islands that Charles Darwin noticed during his visit there while on the HMS Beagle in the 1830's.

 

The average size of Green Warbler Finches is 10 cm, and their weight can range from 8-12 grams. Green Warbler Finches have a greenish coloration to blend into their lusher semi-humid forest habitats, as well as distinctive reddish throat patches on breeding males. The upper half of the adult is typically more sandy-brown which differs from the female as they have a more olive-brown upper half.
