Where to spot
Widespread across Central and South America, from southern Mexico to northern Argentina, found in humid forests, forest edges, and secondary growth.
How to spot

When to spot
Resident year-round. Active throughout the day, with increased vocalization and foraging in the mornings and late afternoons.
