Spotted
The Red-throated Piping-Guan is a striking large cracid characterized by its glossy black plumage and a prominent, vibrant red wattle or throat pouch. It is an arboreal species inhabiting humid forests.
Where to spot
Primarily found in the tropical and subtropical lowland forests of south-central Amazonia, specifically in parts of Brazil and Bolivia.
How to spot
Scan the mid-to-upper canopy of mature forests. Look for its distinctive red throat and listen for its loud, whistling calls. Patience is key, as they can be shy and blend well into dense foliage.
When to spot
Most active during the cooler parts of the day, specifically early mornings and late afternoons, when they forage for fruits and seeds.
