The Green Manakin is a rather plain Piprid, with both sexes sporting an overall green plumage. It is typically found in humid montane forests.
Where to spot
Found in humid montane forests and cloud forests along the Andes, from Venezuela south through Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia.
How to spot
Scan the mid-story and understory of humid forests. Its uniform green plumage requires close observation to distinguish from other green birds; vocalizations are important.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, often accompanying mixed-species flocks. Observable year-round.
