Spotted
The Crestless Curassow is a medium-sized curassow with glossy black plumage and a distinctive red bill and legs, notably lacking the prominent crest often seen in other curassow species. It inhabits humid lowland forests.
Where to spot
Found in humid lowland rainforests of northeastern South America, including parts of Venezuela, the Guianas, and northern Brazil.
How to spot
Look for this ground-dwelling bird in the understory of dense forests. Its dark plumage can make it hard to spot, so patience and quiet movement are key. Listen for its low hooting calls.
When to spot
Primarily active during the day, especially in the early morning and late afternoon, when foraging on the forest floor or in lower vegetation.
