Black-spectacled Brushfinch

Atlapetes melanopsis
Pucacocha to Apaya, Junín, Peru - 28 november 2019
There are thousands of small valleys and micro-habitats in the Andes, and Peru has therefore many endemic bird species restricted to only these small areas. The endangered Black-spectacled Brushfinch is one of those birds with a tiny distribution and small population, vulnerable to human population growth and expanding cultivation.
