Spotted
The Lesser Greenlet is a tiny, active Neotropical songbird, characterized by its plain olive-green plumage and relatively small size. It is an agile insectivore, found in the mid-story and canopy of various wooded habitats.
Where to spot
Widely distributed across Central and South America, from Mexico to northern Brazil and Bolivia. It inhabits humid forests, secondary growth, and forest edges.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, often repetitive, high-pitched song: 'peet-peet-peet-pee-peet-peet-peet.' Scan the mid-story and canopy for a very small, active green bird.
When to spot
Active year-round in its resident tropical and subtropical ranges. Most vocal during the breeding season. Best observed in the early morning.

Despite its small size, the Lesser Greenlet has a surprisingly loud and far-carrying song, making it much easier to detect by sound than by sight.
