Spotted
The Brown Jacamar is a small, rather dull-colored jacamar with predominantly brown plumage, often appearing dark overall. It has the characteristic long, pointed bill of its family.
Where to spot
Forest edges, secondary growth, clearings, and riverine habitats in a wide range across the Amazon basin and northern South America, including parts of Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia.
How to spot
Look for it perching on exposed branches in open areas or at forest edges, often swaying its head slightly before launching into a pursuit flight. Its slender silhouette against the sky can be a good clue.
When to spot
Observable throughout the year, with peak activity during warmer parts of the day.

Despite its somber plumage, the Brown Jacamar is an agile hunter, capable of swift aerial maneuvers to catch flying insects such as dragonflies and butterflies.
