Spotted
The Yellow-shouldered Grosbeak is a distinctive and somewhat uncommon songbird native to the humid forests of northwestern South America. It is characterized by its robust bill, dark plumage, and striking yellow shoulder patch, particularly prominent in males.
Where to spot
Found in western Colombia and northwestern Ecuador. Inhabits humid foothill and lower montane forests, often in the canopy or at forest edges.
How to spot
Look for its large size for a finch, its thick bill, dark body, and the diagnostic yellow shoulder patch. It often forages high in the canopy, so patience and good optics are essential. Listen for its infrequent, sharp 'chip' call.
When to spot
Active year-round. Best observed during early mornings when birds are most active.
This species is often found foraging silently in the middle to upper canopy of tall trees, making it challenging to spot despite its colorful markings.
