Where to spot
Widespread in humid montane and foothill forests from Venezuela and Colombia south through Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia. Also found in parts of Brazil and Argentina.
How to spot
Look for this species in the canopy or mid-story of humid forests, particularly around fruiting trees. The male's blue crown is distinctive. Listen for their soft, high-pitched, somewhat sibilant calls, which often precede a sighting.
