The Black-billed Seed Finch is a large, dark seedeater with a heavy black bill, found in humid lowlands and forest edges in western South America.
Where to spot
Humid forest edges, dense second growth, and bamboo thickets in lowlands of western Amazonia, from southern Colombia south through eastern Ecuador and Peru to northern Bolivia, generally below 1,000 meters.
How to spot
Look for its large, black bill and dark plumage. Patience is key, as it can be elusive. Listen for its strong, whistled song to help locate it when it's hidden in vegetation.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed in the early mornings when birds are most active.

This species is often quite shy, preferring to stay within the cover of dense vegetation, making it more challenging to get clear views, requiring patience from observers.
