🌎 Emerald tanager (Tangara florida) The emerald tanager is a vibrant, medium-sized bird from Central and South America. Males are bright emerald green with black streaking on the back and wings, a black ear patch and beak, and yellow on the crown and rump. Females are duller with yellow-green instead of yellow on the head. They are found in humid lowland and montane forests, and secondary forests in Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, and Ecuador, typically in the canopy. Emerald Tanagers are usually seen in pairs or small groups, often joining mixed-species foraging flocks. They actively glean insects and fruits from foliage, sometimes hanging upside down. Their calls are high-pitched whistles and chirps. One subspecies is recognised by some authorities.
