How to spot

Look for them in mixed and deciduous forests. Listen for their soft, whistling calls. Pay attention to the bill shape and subtle plumage differences from similar minivets.

When to spot

Best observed during spring and autumn migration periods in transitional zones, and during summer in breeding grounds or winter in non-breeding grounds. Active during daylight.
