Why it matters
The Boat-billed Flycatcher is easily distinguished by its heavy, broad bill and the subtle notch in its tail, both of which are evolved to help it navigate the diverse canopy habitats of the Neotropics. Bird enthusiasts prize sightings of this species for its distinctive, resonant vocalizations and the reliable presence it maintains throughout its expansive range from Mexico to Argentina.
