Abstract
The Sandgrouse journal article available through subscription at this link discusses the discovery of Afghan Snowfinch nests in 2008 while WCS were conducting surveys around Band-e-Amir in Bamyan Province. As described back in the 60s, this endemic species constructs nests under the ground within existing burrows - behaviour that was witnessed by the two researchers on this trip.
