Spotted
The Bay-breasted Xenops is a distinctive Furnariid characterized by its rich rufous (bay) breast coloration. Like other xenops, it has a uniquely shaped bill for prying into crevices to find insects.
Where to spot
Widespread across Central and South America, found in humid montane and cloud forests, often at mid to high elevations.
How to spot
Look for its characteristic foraging movements on branches and bark. The rufous breast is a key identification mark. Listen for its high-pitched, often repeated calls, which can reveal its presence.
When to spot
Active year-round. Observations are most productive during the morning hours, when the bird is actively feeding.
