Spotted
The Black-billed Nightingale-Thrush is a small, shy thrush native to Central America. It has olive-brown upperparts and a paler, mottled underside, with a key identifying feature being its dark bill.
Where to spot
Humid montane forests and cloud forests in Costa Rica and western Panama, typically at mid to high elevations.
How to spot
Requires patience as it tends to stay hidden in dense undergrowth. Listen for its rich, melodic song, which is often the best way to detect its presence. Look on the forest floor or low branches.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most vocal and active during the breeding season (generally wet season). Best observed at dawn or dusk.
