These are the prompts for #stateofthebirdsart2026 hosted by @raebirdcreationsart with a theme of #tippingpointbirds - North American species in peril. Gunnison Sage-Grouse, Sagebrush Sparrow, Piping Plover, Lewis' Woodpecker, and Brown-Capped Rosy Finch.

Gray-crowned Rosy Finch is among the hardiest of all birds living and nesting in the highest parts of the highest mountains of the Sierra Nevada. They flash pink bellies and wings as they forage in snow or snow line. They hold the record for the hike at altitude breeding bird in North America! #birdwatching #rosyfinch #mountainbirds #highaltitude #sierranevada @josephbrooksjewelry (at Bishop, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdDnCJMLZo0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Handled and banded with proper permits and training! . . #rosyfinch #powdermountain #birds #wildlife #birdbanding #snow #fieldwork #fieldresearch #utah (at Powder Mountain Resort) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbc5OL0Lsqc/?utm_medium=tumblr

Adults are brown on the head, back, and breast with pink on the belly, rump, and wings. The forehead is black. They have short black legs and a long forked tail. Their breeding habitat is mountain peaks in the central Rocky Mountains of the United States. They build a cup nest in a cavity on a cliff, or re-use abandoned cliff swallow nests. In winter, these birds migrate short distances to lower elevations. These birds forage on the ground, but may fly to catch insects in flight. They mainly eat seeds from weeds and grasses and insects. They often feed in small flocks. At one time, the three North American rosy finches were considered to be one species. #BrownCappedRosyFinchesSeria #BirdsSeria #RosyFinchesSeria #FinchesSeria #UsaBirdsSeria #UsaAnimalsSeria #UsaFinchesSeria #NorthAmericanBirdsSeria #NorthAmericanAnimalsSeria #NorthAmericanFinchesSeria #RockyMountainsBirdsSeria #23December2017Seria #23DecemberSeria #2017DecemberSeria #2017saturdaySeria #SaturdayDecemberSeria #SaturdaySeria (Rocky Mountain National Park)
