Spotted
The Yellow-fronted Chlorophonia is a small, strikingly colored finch found in humid montane forests of South America. It is characterized by its bright green upperparts, yellow underparts, and a distinctive yellow patch on its forehead.
Where to spot
Occurs in the humid montane forests of the Andes in South America, from Venezuela and Colombia south through Ecuador to Peru and Bolivia.
How to spot
Scan the mid-to-upper levels of the forest canopy, especially around fruiting trees. The yellow forehead patch is a key identifying feature, contrasting with the green body. Listen for its high-pitched, often musical calls.
When to spot
Resident throughout its range. Early mornings are typically the best time to observe them as they forage for fruits in the forest canopy.
