Where to spot
Inhabits humid lowland and foothill forests in southeastern Mexico and Central America, from Belize south to Honduras.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, whistling call. Patiently watch the forest floor and dense undergrowth, especially near army ant swarms or fallen logs, as it walks deliberately or hops.
When to spot
Active year-round. Most vocal and detectable during early morning and late afternoon hours.
