Spotted
The Black-capped Antwren is a small, active antwren easily identified by its contrasting black cap (in males) and streaked underparts. It typically forages in the mid-story to lower canopy of dry woodlands.
Where to spot
Dry forests and woodlands of central and southeastern Brazil, eastern Bolivia, and parts of Paraguay.
How to spot
Search in the mid-story of semi-deciduous forests and cerrado woodlands. It often travels in mixed-species flocks. Listen for its distinctive, rapid song.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed during early mornings when singing is most frequent.

Despite its small size, this antwren has a remarkably loud and far-carrying song, which is a series of accelerating, high-pitched notes, making it relatively easy to detect vocally even in dense habitats.
