The Mistletoe Tyrannulet is a tiny, olive-green flycatcher found in northern South America. It is named for its preference for mistletoe-laden trees, often feeding on the berries.
Where to spot
Found in northern South America, including Venezuela, Colombia, and northern Brazil. It inhabits humid forests, secondary growth, and especially areas with abundant mistletoe.
How to spot
Look for this tiny bird in the mid to upper canopy, focusing on trees with mistletoe clumps. Observe its active foraging for insects and its occasional consumption of berries. Its high-pitched, soft calls can help locate it.
When to spot
A year-round resident. Best observed when mistletoe is fruiting, but active throughout the day, particularly mornings.

While primarily insectivorous, this tyrannulet frequently supplements its diet with mistletoe berries, a behavior that helps disperse the mistletoe seeds, making it an ecological partner.
