Green Honeycreeper

The Green Honeycreeper is a very attractive small tanager of humid tropical lowlands. 


Found in humid evergreen forest edges, plantations, and gardens at times with mixed-species feeding flocks of honeycreepers and euphonias.


They are often in pairs, feeding at all levels in fruiting trees and bushes. Note the short, curved bill.


Males are a unique green-blue color with black hood and a banana yellow beak. Female resembles female Red-legged Honeycreeper but is larger, brighter, uniform green, with yellow lower bill and grayish legs.
