Spotted
The Bare-crowned Antbird is a striking species named for the extensive area of bare blue skin on its crown. Males are glossy black, while females are rufous-brown with a similar blue crown.
Where to spot
Inhabits the understory of humid lowland forests across Central America (Honduras to Panama) and northern South America (Colombia to northern Brazil and the Guianas).
How to spot
Locate army ant swarms and wait patiently. They are often less skulking than other antbirds and may be seen hopping on the forest floor, though still preferring dense cover.
When to spot
Active year-round. Best observed during the early morning and late afternoon when army ants are most active.
