Mangrove Finch

Camarhynchus heliobates

Critically Endangered

The Mangrove Finch is a seed-eating tanager ally of grassland, scrub, bamboo, or island woodland in Isabela Island mangroves in the Galapagos. It is mapped as an approximate resident or core native range, with local endemics kept tighter than widespread continental species. Fun fact: tanagers are one of the largest songbird radiations in the Americas, with bills and diets that vary dramatically across habitats.
