The Blue-naped Chlorophonia (Chlorophonia cyanea) is a dazzling bird species found in the cloud forests of Central and South America, particularly in countries like Costa Rica, Panama, and Colombia.

It derives its nаme from the vibrant blue patch on the back of its neck, contrasting with its emerald green body and wings. These small, elusive birds inhabit the dense foliage of montane forests, where they flit about in search of fruits, berries, and insects.

The males boast a more vivid coloration than females, often attracting attention with their brilliant plumage and melodious calls echoing through the misty forest canopy.

Despite their stunning appearance, Blue-naped Chlorophonias are relatively inconspicuous due to their shy behavior and preference for dense vegetation, making them a tҺrilling yet challenging sight for birdwatchers fortunate enough to encounter them in their natural habitat.
