- Populasi
- Not numerically quantified; population trend generally reported as stable
- Habitat
- Open woodland, scrub, and thickets (including juniper and rhododendron scrub) in mountain terrain; breeds at high elevation (roughly 2,500-4,300 m, with a narrower 2,500-2,700 m core) and descends to lower-elevation scrub and cultivation edges in winter — an altitudinal migrant
- Fakta menarik
- The male's flutelike, highly variable breeding-season song — sung from exposed perches throughout the day — was distinctive enough that Scottish composer Magnus Robb analyzed a recording of it slowed down to create his 1995 musical piece "Summoning Dawn."
- Sebaran
- Himalayas and adjoining Central Asian mountains, breeding from Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan across Pakistan, India, Nepal, Bhutan and into Tibet/western China; winters at lower elevations south into the plains of India, Bangladesh, Myanmar and Thailand
