Diuca Finch on Rapa Nui (Easter Island)

Taken on vacation at Rapa Nui (Easter Island). I mostly saw pairs, this was one lone one. Taken at the edge of their volcano crater. I see there is no location tag for Rapa Nui.

    It is the Common Diuca-finch (Diuca diuca). Probably a youngster or a female. I will add the species to your spotting :-)

      So sorry in my first reply I mistakenly called you Christine. I was half asleep and had just seen a notification from her. Thanks for all you do! Posted 5 years ago

      Absolutely! There is so much for people interested in nature ,history, and culture. Wild horses and steer, tropical flowers and other wildlife. Of course the Moai statues, beautiful cave paintings, a volcano crater, beautiful landscapes, gorgeous ocean water (a shade like no other I had seen) and truly wonderful people. It was a trip of a lifetime for me. I'll be posting some plants from there soon. Thanks for asking. Posted 5 years ago
