Spotted
Natterer's Toucanet is a beautiful and somewhat cryptic species, primarily green with a black head and subtle yellow markings around the eye. Males and females show distinct differences in their facial plumage. It inhabits humid tropical forests, where it often remains hidden while foraging for fruits.
Where to spot
Found in humid tropical lowland forests across the northwestern Amazon Basin, including parts of Brazil, Venezuela, and Colombia.
How to spot
Scan the mid-canopy for subtle movements, particularly near fruiting trees. Look for its green body and distinctive black head with yellow facial markings (in males). Patience is key as it can be quite inconspicuous despite its colors.
When to spot
Active year-round. Best observed during the early morning hours when foraging activity is highest. Its vocalizations are generally soft and infrequent.

Named after Johann Natterer, an Austrian naturalist who extensively explored Brazil, this toucanet's scientific name honors his significant contributions to ornithology.
