The Amazonian Royal Flycatcher is a spectacular bird famous for its vibrant, fan-like crest, which is usually laid flat but can be dramatically fanned during displays. It inhabits humid lowland forests.
Where to spot
Humid lowland forests, often near water sources, throughout the Amazon basin in South America.
How to spot
Look for their distinctive broad, flattened bills. While their crests are usually hidden, listen for their simple, whistle-like calls and observe their sallying behavior from a perch.
When to spot
Year-round, most visible in the early morning or late afternoon, when they are actively foraging.
