Bay-ringed Tyrannulet

Phylloscartes sylviolus

The Bay-ringed Tyrannulet is a small, insectivorous bird found in the tropical forests of South America. It is known for its distinctive olive-green plumage, with a yellowish ring around the eye and a pale belly. This species is often found in the midstory and canopy of humid forests, where it forages for insects and small invertebrates. The Bay-ringed Tyrannulet is known for its high-pitched, repetitive vocalizations, often heard in the early morning. While not currently considered threatened, habitat loss and deforestation are potential threats to its population.
