Yellow-winged Warbler

Geothlypis flavovelata

The Yellow-winged Warbler (Geothlypis flavovelata) is a small, migratory songbird found in the highlands of Costa Rica and western Panama. It is characterized by its bright yellow wings, olive-green back, and yellow underparts. This species prefers to inhabit dense undergrowth in montane forests, often near streams or wet areas. The Yellow-winged Warbler forages for insects and spiders in the understory, and its song is a series of high-pitched, musical notes. Although not much is known about its population trends, the species is believed to be vulnerable due to habitat loss and fragmentation.

Habitat: Montane forests near streams
