The Yellow-throated Euphonia is a widespread and common small finch known for the male's glossy blue-black upperparts and bright yellow underparts with a distinct yellow throat. Females are duller, olive-green.
Where to spot
Widespread from southern Texas (USA) and Mexico south through Central America to Costa Rica. It inhabits open woodlands, forest edges, cultivated areas, and gardens.
How to spot
Look for this bird in fruiting trees and shrubs, often high in the canopy. The male's bright yellow throat and belly against a black back are unmistakable. Listen for its characteristic high-pitched, buzzing, or chattering calls and short, whistled songs.
When to spot
Resident throughout its range. Easily observable year-round, especially in areas with abundant fruiting trees. Active during the day, particularly mornings.

This species is notable for its varied diet, which includes not only fruits (especially mistletoe berries) but also a significant proportion of insects, unlike many other euphonias.
