How to spot
Search for its black throat and chestnut sides. It's often found in small, busy groups or mixed flocks, moving rapidly through vegetation. Listen for its chattering calls and short, whistled songs.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Best observed during the morning hours when it is most actively foraging and vocalizing, often as part of bird waves.
