Spotted
The Hooded Grosbeak is a striking finch with a massive, conical bill, found in montane forests of Mexico and Central America. Males are iridescent blue-black with a yellow collar and bright yellow underparts.
Where to spot
Found in humid montane forests, pine-oak woodlands, and cloud forests from central Mexico south through Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua.
How to spot
Look for this large, heavy-billed finch in the mid to upper canopy of montane forests. The male's glossy black 'hood', yellow collar, and yellow underparts are distinctive. Listen for its loud, whistled calls, which often reveal its presence.
When to spot
Resident throughout its range, observable year-round. Most active during the breeding season (spring/early summer) when males are more vocal.
