The Rose-throated Becard is a vibrant species known for its striking plumage, especially the rosy throat of the male. Found in humid montane forests, it's often a solitary bird that can be difficult to spot.
Where to spot
Humid montane forests and cloud forests in Central and South America. Look for it in the canopy and mid-story.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, often whistled calls. Scan the mid to upper canopy carefully, as they tend to perch quietly. Patience is key for observing this often elusive species.
When to spot
Year-round, primarily during early mornings and late afternoons when birds are most active.
