The Choco Jacamar is a relatively small and dark jacamar species, notable for its somewhat dusky plumage and long, slender bill. It inhabits the humid lowland forests of its specific region.
Where to spot
Humid lowland and foothill forests, primarily in the Chocó biogeographic region, extending from western Colombia south into northwestern Ecuador.
How to spot
Search forest edges and canopy gaps where it might perch on exposed branches. Its dark overall appearance can make it blend in, so look for its characteristic slender silhouette and long bill.
When to spot
Year-round, typically active during the brighter parts of the day.
