Spotted
A spectacularly marked cotinga, easily identified by its long, deeply forked tail, a feature unique among cotingas. Males have striking yellow, black, and white plumage.
Where to spot
Montane and lowland forests, often near open areas or forest edges, in southeastern Brazil, eastern Paraguay, and northeastern Argentina.
How to spot
Look for it perching conspicuously on exposed branches, or watch for its distinctive aerial flights. The long, forked tail is unmistakable. Listen for its high-pitched, buzzy calls.
When to spot
Resident in some areas, migratory in others. Best observed during the austral summer months (November-March) when breeding.
