The Grey-winged Trumpeter (Psophia crepitans) is a terrestrial, medium-sized bird found in the Amazon rainforest. Named for its deep, resonant calls, it lives in flocks and forages on the forest floor.
Where to spot
Found in the northern Amazon rainforest, including parts of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela, and Brazil. Inhabits dense lowland rainforest, often near rivers or clearings.
How to spot
Listen for their distinctive, booming calls echoing through the forest. Look for groups of dark-bodied birds with grey wings walking deliberately on the forest floor. They can be shy but may be approached cautiously.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active during the day, foraging on the forest floor in small groups.

These social birds often follow monkeys or peccaries, feeding on insects and fruits disturbed by the larger animals. They also have a unique 'trumpeting' call that can be heard over long distances in the forest.
