The Yellow-winged Vireo is a small, distinctive songbird of Central America, characterized by its bright yellow wing bars and often a pale eye-ring. It is an active insectivore of humid montane forests.
Where to spot
Found in the highlands of Costa Rica and western Panama. It inhabits humid montane forests and cloud forests, typically at high elevations.
How to spot
Look for its prominent yellow wing bars. Listen for its rather complex and often rapid, whistled song, which helps distinguish it from other vireos in its range. Scan the mid to upper canopy of montane forests.
When to spot
Active year-round in its resident tropical montane habitat. Most vocal during the breeding season. Best observed in the early mornings.
