Spotted
The Golden-browed Chlorophonia is a vibrant small finch known for its iridescent green plumage, yellow underparts, and a distinctive golden-yellow streak above its eye. It inhabits humid montane forests.
Where to spot
Found in humid montane forests from southern Mexico, south through Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua.
How to spot
Look for this bird in the canopy or mid-story of humid montane forests, often in mixed-species flocks. The golden-yellow supercilium (eyebrow) is a crucial field mark. Listen for its short, high-pitched, and often repeated calls.
When to spot
A year-round resident. Best observed during the early morning hours when it is actively feeding on fruits in the forest canopy.
