Brambling

BRAMBLE FINCH, or MOUNTAIN FINCH, a bird of the family fringillidæ. It breeds in the more northern parts of Scandinavia; visiting Italy, Malta, Smyrna, etc., in its winter migrations. It has no song, its call note being a single monotonous chirp. It is rather larger than the chaffinch. The tail is forked, and its prevailing colors are black, white, and yellow.
