Spotted
The Chestnut-eared Aracari is a colorful toucanet with a distinctive chestnut patch behind its eye, a black head, and a yellow breast with a red band. It is a widespread and common species in humid tropical forests, often seen in lively groups. Its calls are a familiar sound of its habitat.
Where to spot
Widespread in humid tropical lowland forests, forest edges, and gallery forests across much of the Amazon Basin, extending into parts of Central America and the Pantanal.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, high-pitched 'skeet-skeet-skeet' calls. Look for its chestnut ear patch and black head as it hops through the mid to upper canopy, often near fruiting trees. It often moves in small, noisy flocks.
When to spot
Active year-round. Most vocal and visible during the early morning and late afternoon hours. Breeding season (varies regionally) leads to increased activity.
