How to spot
Look for its olive-green upperparts and distinctive fawn or buffy breast, contrasting with a paler belly. Listen for its beautiful, varied, and melodious whistling songs, typical of the whistler family.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most vocal during the breeding season, but generally active throughout the day, particularly mornings and late afternoons.
