The green-and-gold tanager (Tangara schrankii) is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae, the tanagers. It is one of 27 species in the genus Tangara. It is found in the western and central Amazon Basin in eastern Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, central Bolivia, and northwestern Brazil.
Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical swamps. The green-and-gold tanager's range is almost all of the western Amazon basin to the higher elevation mountain foothills of the eastern Andes. The contiguous range has three extensions. A southerly extension from southern Peru into central Bolivia is about 2000 km long and 400 km wide, and in Bolivia covers the upper reaches of tributary rivers to the northeast flowing Madeira River. A 1300 km range extension goes north to the southeastern Venezuela higher elevation border region, from the Rio Negro of the Amazon, beyond the upper reaches of Venezuela's Caribbean north-flowing Orinoco River. The third easterly extension goes in the central basin and ends at only the middle reaches of the northerly flowing Tapajós River, a stretch of 800 km of the 3000 km long river.

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Green-and-gold Tanager sighting in Amboró National Park on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 221st most-seen of the 273 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, and over a week to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
November
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Green-and-gold Tanager in Amboró National Park on a given day, against under 5% in July–October and December–May, the lowest months. June has too few records to rate.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Green-and-gold Tanager sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
7th of 7
Of the 7 parks where we can rate Green-and-gold Tanager sightings, Amboró National Park ranks 7th at under 5%. The best odds are in Podocarpus National Park (Ecuador, about 30%), Yasuní National Park (Ecuador, about 20%) and Tambopata National Reserve (Peru, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Green-and-gold Tanager is recorded against all the birds logged in Amboró National Park (7 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
