The Peruvian Blackbird is a medium-sized, glossy black icterid, similar to the Melodious Blackbird, found in western South America. It is known for its pleasant, varied song.
Where to spot
Found along the Pacific coast of Ecuador and Peru. Inhabits dry and semi-humid coastal areas, open woodlands, scrub, and agricultural fields.
How to spot
Look for its entirely glossy black plumage. Listen carefully for its clear, melodious, and somewhat gurgling song, which is a key identification feature for this species.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active and vocal during the early morning and late afternoon, particularly during the breeding season.

Despite its somewhat uniform appearance, its vocalizations are distinctive and key to separating it from similar blackbirds in its range.
