Spotted
The Black-capped Wren is a small, active wren of humid Central and South American forests, characterized by its distinct black cap and white supercilium. It is a vocal inhabitant of dense undergrowth.
Where to spot
Inhabits humid lowland and foothill forests, particularly in dense undergrowth and bamboo thickets, from Nicaragua south to western Ecuador.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, clear, and often musical song. Look for a small wren foraging in dense thickets, trying to spot the black cap (on males) or brown crown (on females) and white eyebrow.
When to spot
A year-round resident. Most active and vocal during the early morning and late afternoon.

Males display a prominent black cap, while females have a browner crown, making for an interesting sexual dimorphism.
