Spotted
The Yellow-crowned Euphonia is a striking small finch, distinguished by the male's iridescent blue-black upperparts and bright yellow underparts, topped with a prominent yellow crown. Females are duller green.
Where to spot
Found in humid lowland and foothill forests of Central America, from Honduras south through Costa Rica and Panama.
How to spot
Scan the mid to upper canopy of humid forests and forest edges. The male's prominent yellow crown contrasting with its blue-black back and yellow belly is key. Listen for its high-pitched, clear, and somewhat trilling calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Best observed during early morning or late afternoon when they are actively foraging for small fruits in the forest canopy.

Despite its small size, this euphonia is quite agile, capable of hanging upside down to extract berries from thin branches.
