      <image:caption>Finally, after three separate attempts, we found it—the Pale Rosefinch (Carpodacus stoliczkae). True to its name, the female is remarkably pale and inconspicuous, blending almost perfectly into the sandy landscape. It proved surprisingly difficult to detect, even when nearby. In the end, we learned that the heavy daytime visitor traffic at Longyang Gorge tends to push the birds away from the main roads, making the early morning by far the best time to search for this elusive species. With the Pale Rosefinch finally in hand, our Qinghai Grand Loop came to a perfect conclusion.</image:caption>
