Spotted
The Green-throated Euphonia is a small, iridescent finch found in southeastern South America. Males have glossy blue-black upperparts, bright yellow underparts, and a distinct green wash on the throat and breast.
Where to spot
Occurs in southeastern Brazil, eastern Paraguay, and northeastern Argentina. It prefers humid lowland forests, forest edges, and secondary growth.
How to spot
Search the mid to upper canopy of humid forests and at forest edges. The male's green throat (often appearing iridescent) is a key field mark. Listen for its high-pitched, often repetitive, and somewhat squeaky calls.
When to spot
Resident throughout its range, observable year-round. Best seen in the early morning when they are most active, foraging in the canopy.
