Where to spot
Humid forests and woodlands from southern Mexico south through Central and South America to northern Argentina.
How to spot
Look for its entirely glossy black plumage, bright yellow legs and cere, and relatively long, broad wings. Listen for its loud, ringing calls, often a series of ascending whistles, which help to locate this elusive species.
When to spot
Year-round, active during daylight. Often seen soaring above the canopy or perched on a high, exposed branch, especially in the morning or late afternoon.
