The Yellow-eyed Blackbird is a medium-sized, glossy black icterid with striking yellow eyes and a relatively long tail. It is restricted to marshlands in the Andes of Peru and Bolivia.
Where to spot
Found in the high Andes of Peru and Bolivia, specifically in marshes, swamps, and dense reed beds around lakes and rivers.
How to spot
Look for its entirely glossy black plumage and prominent yellow eyes. It can be elusive in dense reeds, so listening for its distinctive, often harsh or gurgling calls is crucial.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed during early mornings or late afternoons when birds are most active along marsh edges.
