How to spot
Look high in the trees for their vivid colors. They are often detected by their distinctive, sharp calls. Use good binoculars to get a clear view of their intricate patterns.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, often moving in small flocks through the forest canopy. They are resident birds, observable year-round.
