Spotted
This large and colorful oropendola displays a glossy olive-green body, a pale yellowish bill, and a tail that is mostly bright yellow with a black base. It is a common sight and sound in the tropical forests of the Amazon.
Where to spot
Widespread across the Amazon basin in South America, including parts of Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, and Bolivia. Inhabits humid lowland rainforests, forest edges, and clearings.
How to spot
Look up into the canopy of large trees. Its large size and olive-green plumage with a yellow tail are key features. Listen for its characteristic gurgling or 'spluttering' calls.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active and vocal during the breeding season (which varies regionally but generally coincides with rainy seasons).
