Spotted
A bizarre and unique cotinga species found in the humid forests of the Guianas and northern Brazil. It has an almost entirely bald, blue-grey head, resembling a monk's cowl, contrasting with its brown body.
Where to spot
Humid lowland rainforests, particularly near rivers and streams, in the Guianas (Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana) and northern Brazil.
How to spot
Look in the mid-story and canopy. Its bald head is instantly recognizable. Listen for its unforgettable, loud, low-pitched 'mooing' or 'grunting' calls that give it its other common name, 'Calfbird.'
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most vocal and active in the early morning and late afternoon.

The Capuchinbird is renowned for its incredibly loud, cow-like mooing vocalizations, which are entirely unlike typical bird calls.
