Inca-finchとは 意味・読み方・使い方

The Inca-finches (Incaspiza) are a genus of finch-like tanagers. They were formerly placed in the Emberizidae. Both their scientific and common name refer to the Incan civilization. They are endemic to arid scrub in central and northern Peru. Most are restricted to highlands, and only a single species, the Great Inca-finch, is not associated with the Marañón Valley. They are rather terrestrial, and typically forage within dense plant growth on the ground, but commonly perch higher, for example on the top of a tall cactus or in a small tree, when singing. They are typically seen singly or in pairs, but sometimes in small groups outside the breeding season. They normally do not take part in mixed-species flocks.
