Spotted
The Green Oropendola is a large, striking icterid named for the iridescent olive-green sheen on its body, which contrasts with its pale bill and yellow outer tail feathers. It's often found high in the canopy of tropical forests.
Where to spot
Found in northern South America, including Venezuela, the Guianas, and parts of the Amazon basin. Inhabits humid lowland tropical forests, often along rivers or at forest edges.
How to spot
Scan the canopy of tall trees for its large size and olive-green plumage. Listen for its distinctive, often gurgling and bubbling calls, which can draw attention to its presence.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed during early mornings or late afternoons when foraging activity is highest in the canopy.

Unlike many other oropendolas, the Green Oropendola does not typically form large, dense breeding colonies, instead nesting in smaller groups or even solitarily.
