The White-browed Blackbird is a distinctive icterid found in South America, with males exhibiting a glossy black body and a bright red-orange breast and eyebrow stripe. Females are typically duller brown with a reddish wash on the underparts.
Where to spot
Found in South America, particularly from Colombia and Venezuela south through the Andes to Bolivia, and also in parts of Brazil. Inhabits open grasslands, pastures, and marshy areas.
How to spot
Scan open grassy fields for birds perched on low shrubs, fence posts, or the ground. Look for the male's bright red-orange breast and the contrasting white eyebrow, a key field mark.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed during the breeding season (typically Southern Hemisphere spring/summer) when males are actively defending territories and singing.
