- Forest edge, canopy gaps, fruiting trees, or shaded trails where cover and food meet
- Protected habitat blocks within central America from southern Mexico to northwestern South America.
Tips spotting
- Start early, pick one strong patch of habitat, and stay long enough for movement to return after you arrive.
- Work edges, clearings, fruiting trees, and stream crossings rather than walking randomly through dense cover.
