Spotted
The Yellow-knobbed Curassow is a striking, large bird native to northern South America. Males are entirely black with a prominent yellow cere and knob on their bill, while females are similar but lack the knob and have a grayish bill.
Where to spot
Found in the llanos (savannas) and gallery forests of Colombia and Venezuela, often preferring areas near rivers and swampy woodlands.
How to spot
Look for this large, dark bird walking deliberately on the forest floor or perched in the lower branches of trees. Listen for its deep, resonant booming calls, which can be heard from a considerable distance, especially during the breeding season.
When to spot
Most active at dawn and dusk, when they descend from trees to forage on the forest floor. They can also be seen throughout the day, particularly in secluded areas.

Unlike some other curassows, both male and female Yellow-knobbed Curassows have a curly crest of feathers, although the male's crest is typically more prominent.
