Spotted
The Black-crowned Saltator is a striking songbird native to the humid forests of northwestern South America. It is characterized by its prominent black crown, white throat, and olive-green upperparts, giving it a smart appearance.
Where to spot
Found in humid foothill and lower montane forests of southwestern Colombia and northwestern Ecuador. Inhabits canopy and forest edges.
How to spot
Look for its distinct black crown contrasting with a white throat and olive body. Observing it high in the canopy can be challenging. Listen for its loud, clear, ringing song, a series of whistled notes, which often gives away its presence.
When to spot
Active year-round. Best observed during early mornings when birds are most active.
This species is often found in the canopy of tall trees in humid forests, where it forages for fruits and large insects.
