Spotted
A unique bobwhite species easily identified by the prominent crest on its head, which varies in size and color depending on the subspecies. These plump quails are primarily found in northern South America and parts of Central America.
Where to spot
Spanning from parts of Central America south through northern South America, inhabiting grasslands, savannas, agricultural fields, and open woodlands.
How to spot
Listen for their distinctive calls, which can vary by region. Scan open grassy areas and edges of cover for foraging birds, as they often stay low to the ground.
When to spot
Present year-round. Best observed during the breeding season (often tied to rainy seasons) when males are more vocal. Look for them in early morning or late afternoon.
