Yellow Cardinal

Gubernatrix cristata

Endangered

The Yellow Cardinal is a stout-billed tanager ally that feeds on seeds, fruit, buds, and insects in forest edge, scrub, or woodland in South America. It is mapped as an approximate resident or core native range, with local endemics kept tighter than widespread continental species. Fun fact: tanagers are one of the largest songbird radiations in the Americas, with bills and diets that vary dramatically across habitats.
