Spotted
A critically endangered Icterid, the Saffron-cowled Blackbird is a small, bright yellow bird with black wings and tail. Males are particularly vibrant, while females are duller.
Where to spot
Historically widespread in southern Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, and northeastern Argentina, but now found in fragmented populations, primarily in grassland remnants.
How to spot
Very difficult to observe due to extreme rarity and habitat loss. Look in remaining natural grasslands, especially where cattle grazing is light. They are shy and often forage discreetly.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best chances during the breeding season (Southern Hemisphere spring/summer), when males are more vocal and visible.
