Spotted
The Black-crowned Tody-Tyrant is a small, active flycatcher recognizable by its dark crown and distinctive vocalizations. It prefers dense undergrowth and the lower canopy of humid forests.
Where to spot
Inhabits the tropical and subtropical forests of South America, particularly in the Amazonian lowlands and foothills of the Andes.
How to spot
Spot its black crown and look for its quick movements through vegetation. Its sharp, often repeated calls are a good way to locate it in the dense forest where it often remains hidden.
When to spot
Visible year-round within its range, most active during early mornings and late afternoons when insect activity is higher.

This species often uses a unique 'hopping' foraging technique, moving rapidly through dense foliage to flush out insects.
