Spotted
The White-eared Jacamar is a striking forest bird characterized by its iridescent green plumage, long pointed bill, and distinctive white ear-coverts. It is typically found in the dense undergrowth of tropical forests.
Where to spot
Humid lowland tropical rainforests, especially along rivers and streams, in the western Amazon basin of southeastern Colombia, eastern Ecuador, northeastern Peru, and western Brazil.
How to spot
Scan for it perched quietly on low branches in dense forest near water. Its iridescent green plumage can be quite brilliant in good light, and the white ear patch is a key identifier.
When to spot
Year-round, often most active during the warmer parts of the day when insect prey are abundant.
