Spotted
The Hepatic Tanager is a vibrant bird named for the deep "liver" or reddish color of the male, with females being duller yellow. It is known for its preference for pine-oak forests.
Where to spot
Found from the southwestern United States and Mexico south through Central America and along the Andes into Argentina. Primarily inhabits pine-oak and montane forests.
How to spot
Look in open pine-oak woodlands or montane forests, often in the mid to upper canopy. Watch for their active foraging behavior, including aerial sallies. Listen for their clear, musical song, similar to the American Robin but more melodic.
When to spot
Resident in much of its southern range; migratory in the northern parts, present during breeding season (April-August). Observable year-round in its resident regions.

Unlike many tanagers that primarily feed on fruit, the Hepatic Tanager has a strong insectivorous diet, often sallying out from a perch to catch insects in flight.
