Spotted
The Yellow-hooded Blackbird is a vibrant Icterid, easily identified by its contrasting black body and bright yellow head and breast. Females are duller but still show yellow markings.
Where to spot
Found in northern South America, across countries like Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, and parts of northern Brazil.
How to spot
Seek them in open wetlands, swamps, and rice paddies. They frequently perch on emergent vegetation; their buzzing, somewhat mechanical calls can draw attention.
When to spot
Best observed year-round within its resident range, particularly during the breeding season when they are more conspicuous due to nesting activities.

Like many blackbirds, the Yellow-hooded Blackbird is highly social, often forming large flocks outside the breeding season and nesting colonially in marshy vegetation.
