Distribution and Migration of the Black Rosy Finch

Since 1951, the alpine habitat of the Black Rosy Finch (Leucosticte tephrocotis atrata) has been visited in many mountain ranges for the purpose of determining the breeding range of this species. The distribution of this species has long been uncertain. Available information is scattered and some of it remains unpublished in the form of museum specimens. This report adds new findings and summarizes existing data on distribution.
