Habitat
The golden Tanager primarily inhabits humid montane evergreen forests where it favors the dense vegetation canopies. It is occasionally encountered at the edges of these forests and may venture into nearby secondary growth areas that have regrown after initial forest clearing. The species thrives in environments that provide ample foliage cover and access to the rich food resources typical of these lush, forested ecosystems.
