Spotted
The Cauca Guan is an endangered cracid endemic to the inter-Andean valleys of Colombia. It is a relatively large, dark guan with a distinct reddish-pink dewlap.
Where to spot
Restricted to relict patches of humid forest in the Cauca Valley and adjacent slopes of the Western and Central Andes in Colombia.
How to spot
Due to its rarity and restricted range, observation often requires local guidance and access to protected forest fragments. Look for its dark body and visible dewlap as it forages.
When to spot
Best observed during early morning or late afternoon hours. It is a resident species, present year-round.
