Spotted
The Black-billed Mountain-Toucan is a striking toucan species with a predominantly black bill, contrasting with its vibrant yellow underparts and green-tinged upperparts. It inhabits high-altitude cloud forests and temperate woodlands in the Andes. Its distinctive calls carry well through its misty environment.
Where to spot
Native to humid montane and cloud forests along the Andes, from northern Venezuela south through Colombia, Ecuador, and into northern Peru.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, deep, and often guttural 'crawk' or 'kweeur' calls. Look for its primarily black bill and bright yellow underparts as it moves through the mid to upper canopy. It often travels in small, noisy groups.
When to spot
Active year-round. Most active during the early morning hours. Vocalizations typically increase during the breeding season.

Unlike many lowland toucans with highly colorful bills, the Black-billed Mountain-Toucan's more subdued bill coloration helps it blend into the dark understory of its montane forest habitat.
