The Yellow-browed Toucanet is a striking and localized species, recognized by its prominent yellow supercilium (eyebrow) set against a green body and colorful bill. It inhabits humid montane forests, where it forages for fruits and other food items. It is considered a rare find.
Where to spot
Endemic to the humid montane forests of a very limited area in the Huallaga Valley of north-central Peru.
How to spot
Due to its rarity and specific habitat, locating this species requires visiting its known range. Look for its prominent yellow eyebrow as it forages in the mid-canopy. Listen for any soft calls, as it's not known for loud vocalizations.
When to spot
Present year-round within its small range. Best observed during early mornings when birds are most active.
