About this listen

In this episode of Glisten of Birds, Adrian Adair, a passionate ambassador for birds and nature, guides us into the mist-shrouded cloud forests of Ecuador and Colombia to find one of the world’s most elusive treasures—the Glistening-Green Tanager.

Draped in emerald feathers and veiled by mist, this delicate bird is more than a flash of color—it is a living gem, a whisper of beauty in a vanishing world. Through poetic storytelling, natural science, and symbolic reflection, Adrian uncovers the quiet life of this rare species and what it teaches us about fragility, presence, and the power of beauty that doesn’t boast.
