Spotted
The Blue-banded Toucanet is a beautiful species, easily identified by the distinct blue band across its chest, which contrasts with its green plumage. It is a resident of humid montane forests in the Andes, where it feeds on a varied diet of fruits and small animals. Its calls are a notable sound of its habitat.
Where to spot
Found in humid montane and cloud forests along the eastern slopes of the Andes, from northern Peru south into Bolivia.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, often rattling or croaking calls. Scan the mid to upper canopy, especially near fruiting trees, for its green body and striking blue breast band. It often moves in small groups.
When to spot
Active throughout the year. Most vocal during the breeding season (typically April to August). Best observed in the early morning or late afternoon.

The blue band on its chest is particularly vivid and acts as a clear identification marker, helping distinguish it from other toucanet species.
