Spotted
The Pied Lapwing is a striking wader with bold black and white plumage and distinctive yellow facial wattles. It is a common sight in its South American wetland habitats.
Where to spot
Found in open, wet grasslands, marshes, and along riverbanks and lake shores throughout much of northern and central South America.
How to spot
Look for them in open, muddy or grassy areas near water. Their contrasting plumage makes them fairly conspicuous. Listen for their sharp, 'peep-peep' calls.
When to spot
Can be observed year-round within its extensive range. Most active during daylight, especially early morning and late afternoon.

This lapwing often uses its sharp leg spurs as a defense mechanism, particularly when defending its nest or young from potential threats.
