Spotted
The Yellow-billed Jacamar is a vibrant, iridescent green jacamar with a long, slender, often distinctly yellow bill, especially the lower mandible. It prefers the forest understory.
Where to spot
Humid lowland forests and their edges, particularly near rivers and streams, in the western Amazon basin of northeastern Peru and western Brazil.
How to spot
Scan the understory and mid-story for its iridescent green body. Pay close attention to the bill color. It often perches quietly, waiting for insects to pass by.
When to spot
Year-round; most active during the morning hours when insect prey are abundant.

The striking color of the Yellow-billed Jacamar's bill can be a crucial field mark, especially in the dappled light of the forest where its green plumage might otherwise blend in.
