Green Honeycreeper
Chlorophanes spiza
The adult green honeycreeper lives in humid forest canopy, forest borders, gardens, and fruiting clearings across the Neotropics. It moves quickly among branches, probing flowers with a slightly curved bill and taking berries, nectar, and small arthropods. Males are bright blue-green with a darker head, while females are grass-green and better camouflaged. Its slender bill is well suited for reaching nectar that many thicker-billed birds cannot access.
