The Green Warbler-Finch is one of the iconic Darwin's Finches, endemic to the Galápagos Islands. It is a small, agile bird with olive-green upperparts and yellowish underparts, resembling a warbler in its movements and foraging style.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Galápagos Islands, found on many of the larger islands, including Isabela, Fernandina, Santiago, Santa Cruz, and Floreana. Inhabits humid highland forests, transition zones, and drier lowland areas.
How to spot
Look for its small size, greenish plumage, and slender bill. Observe its active foraging style, flitting through vegetation like a warbler. Listen for its high-pitched, simple song, often a rapid series of notes.
When to spot
Active year-round. Best observed during morning hours when foraging activity is high.

This species is highly adapted for insect foraging, using its slender, pointed bill to probe into crevices and pick insects from leaves and bark, much like a true warbler.
