Zeledon's Tyrannulet is a small, relatively plain flycatcher primarily found in humid highland forests of Central and South America. Its appearance is subtle, with olive-green upperparts and yellowish underparts.
Where to spot
Distributed in Central America from Costa Rica and Panama, and in the Andes of South America from Venezuela to Peru. It prefers humid montane evergreen forests.
How to spot
Scan the mid to upper canopy of humid highland forests. Look for its active gleaning behavior, picking insects from foliage. Its plain appearance means that its distinctive, often buzzy or trilled calls are essential for identification.
When to spot
A year-round resident in its montane forest habitats. Most active during the morning when foraging for insects.

Named after José Castulo Zeledón, a prominent Costa Rican zoologist, this tyrannulet is one of several 'small green birds' that challenge birders in the Neotropics, making vocalizations key for identification.
