Spotted
The Black-and-white Seedeater is a striking species, with males sporting a bold black-and-white plumage pattern, found in humid montane forests and clearings.
Where to spot
Humid montane forests, forest edges, and clearings in the Andes, from Colombia south to Peru, typically between 1,000 and 2,500 meters.
How to spot
Look for the male's distinct black and white pattern. It often joins mixed-species flocks, which can make it easier to find. Listen for its simple, buzzy song.
When to spot
Year-round resident. More conspicuous during the breeding season when males are displaying and vocalizing.
