Abstract:
We found 3 nests of Vinaceous Rosefinch (Carpodacus vinaceus) at Lianhuashan Nature Reserve between June and August 2012. The bowl shaped nests were located in small spruce trees(Picea asperata)and shrubs, about 1.5-1.9 m above ground. Egg size was 21.06±0.59 mm × 14.81±0.26 mm, with an average fresh weight of 2.32±0.08 g (n =6). Only female incubated and both parents cared the young. The incubation and nestling period lasted about 14 and 13 days respectively.
