Spotted
A large and imposing cotinga species of humid montane and lowland forests. It is characterized by its glossy black plumage and a prominent, ruff-like collar of deep crimson feathers around the neck.
Where to spot
Humid montane and foothill forests in southeastern Brazil, eastern Paraguay, and northeastern Argentina, with a disjunct population in northern Venezuela and Colombia.
How to spot
Scan the mid-story and canopy of tall forests. Often heard before seen due to its booming call. Look for its large size, black plumage, and distinctive red ruff.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most vocal and active in the early morning and late afternoon.
