The Rusty-margined Guan is a forest-dwelling cracid recognized by its dark plumage, reddish-brown wing margins, and a prominent red dewlap. It is native to southeastern South America.
Where to spot
Inhabits humid forests, gallery forests, and woodland edges in southeastern Brazil, eastern Paraguay, and northeastern Argentina.
How to spot
Scan the mid-to-upper canopy of trees, especially near fruiting trees. They can be vocal, so listening for their calls can aid in location.
When to spot
Active primarily during the early morning and late afternoon. Can be observed year-round as they are non-migratory residents of their range.

This species gets its name from the rusty-colored edges on its primary wing feathers, which can be a subtle but helpful identification feature.
