Spotted
The Bare-faced Curassow is a large ground-dwelling bird found in south-central South America, recognized by the bare skin around its eyes and bill. This species exhibits distinct sexual dimorphism, with males being primarily black and females varying widely in plumage.
Where to spot
Distributed across central and southern Brazil, eastern Bolivia, northern Paraguay, and northeastern Argentina. It inhabits various forest types, including dry chaco woodlands, gallery forests, and savannas with patches of woodland.
How to spot
Look for these large, turkey-like birds moving quietly through dense undergrowth. Listen for their deep, booming calls, particularly at dawn and dusk, which are characteristic of the species and can help in locating them.
When to spot
Most active in the early morning and late afternoon, when they forage on the forest floor. They can be elusive during the heat of midday.
