Darwin's Finches

Made famous by Charles Darwin’s groundbreaking book On the Origin of Species, the group of birds dubbed “Darwin’s Finches” is a group of small grayish birds that are almost entirely endemic to the Galapagos Islands.

In this episode we will take a deep dive into these very interesting birds, learning all about their habits, looks, sounds, and more.Submit your Carrier Pigeon Corner questions in this form.Check out the Bird of the Day website, birdofthedaypodcast.com.
