List Of Tanager Species
The International Ornithological Committee (IOC) recognizes these 387 tanager species in family Tanager, Thraupidae, which are distributed among 108 genera. One species on the list, the St. Kitts bullfinch, is extinct. Confusingly, only 146 of the species are called "tanager"; another 99 are called "finch". This family is found only in the New World, primarily in South and Middle America and the Caribbean, though a few species are occasionally found in the United States. (The 20 species called tanagers in genera ''Piranga'', ''Habia (bird), Habia'', and ''Chlorothraupis'' are members of another family, Cardinalidae). This list is presented in IOC taxonomic sequence and is also sortable alphabetically by common name and binomial name. List References {{reflist Lists of birds, T Tanagers, * ...

International Ornithological Committee
The International Ornithologists' Union, formerly known as the International Ornithological Committee, is a group of about 200 international ornithologists, and is responsible for the International Ornithological Congress and other international ornithological activities, undertaken by its standing committees. International Ornithological Congress The International Ornithological Congress series forms the oldest and largest international series of meetings of ornithologists. It is organised by the International Ornithologists' Union. The first meeting was in 1884; subsequent meetings were irregular until 1926 since when meetings have been held every four years, except for two missed meetings during and in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War.

Pampa Finch
The Pampa finch (''Embernagra platensis''), also known as the great Pampa-finch, is a species of bird. It was traditionally placed in the family Emberizidae but molecular phylogenetic studies have shown that it is a member of the tanager family Thraupidae. Distribution and habitat It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical high-altitude shrubland, temperate grassland, subtropical or tropical seasonally wet or flooded lowland grassland, and swamps.

Blue Finch
The blue finch or yellow-billed blue finch (''Porphyrospiza caerulescens'') is a species of small bird. Although it was long classified in the bunting family Emberizidae, or the cardinal family Cardinalidae, more recent molecular studies have shown it fits comfortably in the Thraupini tribe within the family Thraupidae. It is found in Brazil and northeastern Bolivia, where its natural habitat is dry savanna. It is becoming rare due to habitat loss.

Mourning Sierra Finch
The mourning sierra finch (''Rhopospina fruticeti'') is a species of South American bird in the tanager family Thraupidae. It is the only member of the genus ''Rhopospina''. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile and Peru. It is a vagrant to the Falkland Islands and Brazil. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry shrubland and subtropical or tropical high-altitude shrubland. Taxonomy The mourning sierra finch was formally described and illustrated in 1883 by the German naturalist Heinrich von Kittlitz under the binomial name ''Fringilla fruticeti''. This species was formerly included in the genus '' Phrygilus''. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found that ''Phrygilus'' was polyphyletic, and in the subsequent rearrangement, the mourning sierra finch was moved to the resurrected genus ''Rhopospina'' that had been introduced in 1851 by Jean Cabanis. The genus name combines the Ancient Greek ''rhōps'' meaning "bush" with ''spina'' meaning ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Duida Grass Finch
The Duida grass finch (''Emberizoides duidae'') is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae. It is endemic to Cerro Duida, a mountain in Venezuela, and is known only from specimens collected in 1928 and 1929. The population is nevertheless believed to be stable because of the remoteness of its range. Its natural habitat is dry savanna A savanna or savannah is a mixed woodland- grassland (i.e. grassy woodland) ecosystem characterised by the trees being sufficiently widely spaced so that the canopy does not close. The open canopy allows sufficient light to reach the ground to ....
