Where to spot
Found from southern Mexico south through Central America to Costa Rica. Inhabits open woodlands, clearings, agricultural areas, and urban gardens.
How to spot
Look for its entirely glossy black plumage. Its song is the most distinguishing feature, so listen for its rich, liquid, and melodic whistles, often delivered from a prominent perch.
