Spotted
The Orange-crowned Euphonia is a small, compact finch, notable for the male's glossy blue-black upperparts and bright yellow underparts, highlighted by a distinctive orange crown. It inhabits humid forests.
Where to spot
Found in humid lowland and foothill forests of the western Amazon Basin, including parts of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Brazil.
How to spot
Scan the mid to upper canopy of humid forests, particularly around fruiting trees. The male's glossy blue-black and yellow plumage with the orange crown is key. Listen for its high-pitched, buzzing calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Early mornings are best for observation as they actively forage for fruits in the forest canopy.

Like many euphonias, this species has a strong preference for mistletoe berries, playing a role in the dispersal of these parasitic plants.
