Where to spot
Widespread across much of South America, from Colombia and Venezuela south to Argentina and Chile. Found in varied habitats including open woodlands, forest edges, savannas, parks, and cultivated areas.
How to spot
Look for them foraging in small flocks on the ground or in low vegetation. The male's black hood (though sometimes less pronounced) and yellow body are key features. Listen for their typical siskin calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active and vocal during the local breeding season, which varies by region.
