Grosbeaks & Guides: A Tale of Recovery and Finch Fascination

The Evening Grosbeak Road to Recovery Project and the Stokes Guide to Finches of the United States and Canada

Matt Young - Author, Bird Products Specialist, and Founder and President of the Finch Research Network

With a 92% decline since 1970, Evening Grosbeak (Coccothraustes vespertinus) was cited as the steepest declining landbird in the continental United States and Canada in the Partners in Flight 2016 Landbird Conservation Plan.

From backyards to wilderness peaks, finches are some of the most exciting, mysterious, and popular group of songbirds. In this information-packed book, Lillian Stokes, best-selling author of 35 Stokes guides, and finch expert Matthew Young will introduce you to the 43 finches of the United States and Canada from feeder-favorite goldfinches to Red Crossbill tribes, to least known mountain-top Black Rosy-Finches to endangered Hawaiian honeycreepers.
