How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, accelerating 'whew-whew-whew' or 'tew-tew-tew' call. Scan the dense understory and watch for movement. Often found in pairs.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active in the early morning and late afternoon. Calls are frequent, especially during the breeding season.
