Monster Hunter Wilds Dapperwing location

Where can you find the Monster Hunter Wilds Dapperwing? Dapperwings are an endemic life species needed to complete Samin's Research Report, a side quest that appears fairly early on in Monster Hunter Wilds.

These elusive birds can be hard to find in the large Monster Hunter Wilds map, but it's worth it. Completing Samin's research report rewards you with ten Blue Mushrooms, five Honey, and 50 Guild Points. Catching these birds is one of the many Monster Hunter Wilds quests that requires you to hunt down a specific species of endemic life like the Monster Hunter Wilds Tracktail Lizard, which you need to complete first.

It's just what you need to round off a week of Monster Hunter Wilds fever...

Monster Hunter Wilds' true difficulty isn't the battles: it's navigating the horrible menus

Everyone wants to talk about whether Monster Hunter Wilds is "too hard" or made the series "too streamlined" but I say damn your difficulty discourse. The real difficulty curve in Monster Hunter has nothing to do with whacking big lizards—which is probably going to get harder later anyhow—and has everything to do with its shambling monstrosity of a user interface...
