Crazy how Chestnut-capped Brush finch is also in Andean cloud forest.

Seriously

[@kristianadolfsson]

Birded some of those areas in 1992! You did way better with the endemics.

[@JFwildlife]

Nice! Which ones did ya miss?

[@animaldude01]

Euphonias are AMAZINGGGA! Whats the association with dwarf jay and the wren?

[@JFwildlife]

I'm not totally sure why they have such strong association. Probably just similar habits/preferences plus the usual reasons species hang out in mixed flocks
