Observation details

Fortunately, we were able to commit an entire day of our itinerary at this site, in order to give ourselves the best chance to see this species. We arrived at the site around 7.15. The male showed three times during the morning, although for the first two hours we were looking in the incorrect location, looking at the Açaí fruits in the entrance to the reserve where we were told the bird was when we visited in 2019, not the fruits adjacent to the farm where the bird comes now. The bird was seen at 09.45, 10.00 and 11.30, but each time stayed less than a minute before flying back into the forest. In the afternoon the male returned at 14.45, again only staying briefly, but on this occasion we saw it actually consume Açaí fruits. This was the final observation of the day, before we left at 16.00.
