Spotted
The Caatinga Black Tyrant is a dark, medium-sized flycatcher endemic to the Caatinga region of northeastern Brazil. Males are all black, while females are more muted brown.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Caatinga biome of northeastern Brazil, inhabiting dry forests, thorny scrub, and open woodlands.
How to spot
Scan the dry, scrubby vegetation. Males are entirely black. Watch for them perching upright on branches, making short flights to catch insects. Their calls can help locate them in dense scrub.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed during the dry season (June to November) when vegetation is less dense and birds are more visible.
