Spotted
The Red-breasted Blackbird is a striking South American icterid, with males boasting a glossy black plumage contrasted by a vivid scarlet chest and throat. Females are duller, often brownish with a reddish wash.
Where to spot
Widely distributed across central and eastern South America, including countries like Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay. Found in open grasslands, savannas, pastures, and cultivated areas.
How to spot
Look for males perched conspicuously on fences or elevated points in open fields, showcasing their vibrant red breast. Pay attention to their musical, somewhat buzzy song.
When to spot
Year-round resident throughout its range. Most conspicuous during the breeding season (typically Southern Hemisphere spring/summer) when males are singing and displaying.
Males display their brilliant red plumage prominently during courtship, expanding their chests to impress potential mates.
