The Black-necked Aracari is a medium-sized toucanet with a distinctive black neck and head, contrasting with a yellow breast and red rump. It is a common and active resident of humid tropical forests, often seen in small, noisy groups foraging for fruit.
Where to spot
Widespread in humid tropical lowland forests, forest edges, and secondary growth across the Amazon Basin, including parts of Brazil, Venezuela, and the Guianas.
How to spot
Listen for its characteristic, often rapid 'skeek-skeek-skeek' calls. Look for its black head/neck and yellow breast as it hops through the mid to upper canopy, often following fruiting trees. It is often quite curious and may approach observers.
When to spot
Active year-round. Most vocal and visible during the early morning and late afternoon hours. Breeding season (varies regionally) leads to increased activity.
