The Palm Tanager is a medium-sized passerine bird with a widespread presence in the Americas. It is a resident breeder from Nicaragua, stretching south to Bolivia, Paraguay, and southern Brazil. Adult Palm Tanagers are about 7.5 inches long and weigh around 1.3 ounces, with a grey to dull olive-green plumage. Both sexes are similar, though females may be paler. These birds adapt well to semi-open areas, including cultivated lands and gardens. Their nests are typically bulky cups built in trees, often palms, or under house eaves. Females incubate two to three cream eggs with brown blotches for about two weeks, followed by an additional 17 days until the chicks fledge. Palm Tanagers are known for their social and unwary nature, consuming a diet of small fruits, nectar, insects, and caterpillars. The Palm Tanager is not considered endangered and is classified as Least Concern by the IUCN.
