Spotted
The Speckled Chachalaca is a widespread and variable species across South America, named for the subtle speckling on its breast and neck. It is a common inhabitant of various forest and woodland types.
Where to spot
Its vast range covers much of northern and central South America, from Colombia and Venezuela south to Bolivia and Brazil. Find them in humid forests, secondary growth, gallery forests, and woodland edges.
How to spot
Identify them by their loud, rhythmic 'cha-cha-lac' calls, often given in chorus by multiple birds. Look for them foraging in small groups in the mid-story of trees or on the ground, especially near fruiting trees.
When to spot
Active year-round. The most productive times for observation are at dawn and dusk when their loud calls are most frequent and they are actively foraging.
