Lesser Greenlet
The Lesser Greenlet, Hylophilus decurtatus, is a small passerine bird in the vireo family. It breeds from northeastern Mexico south to western Ecuador. This is a common species of lowlands and foothills up to 1200 m altitude, where it inhabits forest canopy and edges, and the crowns of trees in tall second growth or semi-open areas. The nest is a deep cup of dead leaves and spiderwebs attached by the rim to branches 10–15 m high in a tree.
