Spotted
The Black-billed Peppershrike is a Neotropical songbird recognized by its dark, robust bill and olive-green plumage, often with a subtle facial pattern. Like other peppershrikes, it has a strong voice and forages for insects and fruits.
Where to spot
Found in southeastern South America, including parts of Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina. It inhabits Atlantic Forest and other humid forest types.
How to spot
Listen for its strong, whistled calls, which are similar to but distinct from the Rufous-browed Peppershrike. Look for its dark bill and olive-green body as it moves through the mid to upper canopy.
When to spot
Active year-round in its resident subtropical habitat. Most vocal during the breeding season (spring/summer in the Southern Hemisphere). Best observed in the early mornings.
