Habitat
Beryl-spangled Tanager predominantly occupy humid montane forests and secondary growth within tropical regions. Their realm extends through the eastern Andes, thriving in forest edges, shrubby second-growth woodlands, and clearings with large trees. These birds favor elevations ranging from 700 to 2,900 meters, with a particular affinity for habitats featuring fruiting melastrome trees, which are plentiful in shrubby edges and light woodlands. Consequently, beryl-spangled Tanager are often abundant in these specific ecological niches.
