How to spot
Look for males' striking yellow and black colors, especially near water bodies or in trees with suitable nesting sites. Observing their intricate nest-building behavior can be a highlight.
When to spot
Most conspicuous during the breeding season (often correlated with the rainy season) when males are in their bright breeding plumage and are busy nesting.
