Where to spot
Atlantic Forest remnants, dry deciduous forests, and disturbed areas in eastern Brazil and eastern Paraguay.
How to spot
Listen for their relatively high-pitched, reedy calls. Look for them in the canopy of trees, often in pairs or small family groups. They can be elusive in dense foliage.
When to spot
Year-round. Most active during the early morning and late afternoon, when moving between roosting and feeding areas.
