Where to spot

Humid lowland and foothill forests of the Chocó region, ranging from southwestern Colombia to northwestern Ecuador.

How to spot

Focus on its vocalizations, a series of hoots or barks, which can help pinpoint its location. Look for a dark, small to medium-sized forest-falcon moving stealthily through dense forest understory.

When to spot

Primarily active during the day, but due to its rarity and dense habitat, opportunistic encounters are most common. Dawn and dusk are prime vocalization times.
