Spotted
The Olivaceous Siskin is a small, relatively drab finch found in the Andes, with olive-green plumage and some yellow markings. It is often found in montane forest habitats.
Where to spot
High elevations of the Andes from Venezuela south to Bolivia. Inhabits humid montane forests, cloud forests, and forest edges.
How to spot
Look for them in mixed-species flocks foraging high in the forest canopy. Its olive-green coloration can make it blend in; listen for its typical siskin calls to locate it.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Breeding is generally during the local wet season, which can vary across its long range.
