Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch
Leucosticte
tephrocotis
Local and uncommon breeder along Cascade crest in high alpine habitat north of Snoqualmie Pass. Probably under-recorded by BBA teams due to access difficulties to core habitat. Nests in rockslides and cavities in cliffs above tree line. Breeding race in Cascades, L.t. littoralis, sometimes treated as separate species (Hepburn's Rosy-Finch).
