Spotted
The Yellow-winged Cacique is a large, glossy black bird with a long tail and a prominent, pointed yellow bill. Its most striking feature is the bright yellow patch on its wings, particularly noticeable in flight.
Where to spot
Found in western Mexico, primarily along the Pacific slope. Inhabits dry to semi-humid woodlands, thorn forests, and riparian areas, often near water.
How to spot
Look for it in the canopy of trees, often in small groups. Its bright yellow wing patch is a key identification mark, especially when it flies. Listen for its gurgling and bubbling calls.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active and vocal during the breeding season (spring/summer) when nesting activities are prominent.
