Spotted
A critically endangered and extremely rare tapaculo, with a highly restricted range in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil. It is a secretive ground-dweller.
Where to spot
Endemic to a few highly fragmented patches of humid lowland Atlantic Forest in eastern Brazil, specifically in Bahia state.
How to spot
Due to its extreme rarity, observation is exceptionally challenging. It requires dedicated conservation efforts and often a local guide who knows its highly restricted and declining habitat. Listen for its unique vocalizations.
When to spot
Most active and vocal during early morning and late afternoon. Can be observed year-round in its specific forest habitat.
