Spotted
The Black-capped Donacobius is a striking and vocal bird found in wetlands throughout much of South America. It is easily recognized by its black cap, white eye, and rich rufous and black plumage.
Where to spot
Freshwater wetlands, marshes, reedbeds, and slow-moving rivers with dense emergent vegetation across tropical and subtropical South America.
How to spot
Look for its distinctive plumage and listen for its loud, often duetting calls. It tends to perch conspicuously on top of vegetation, making it easier to spot than many other wetland birds.
When to spot
Year-round, as it is a resident species. Most active and vocal during the early morning and late afternoon.
