Spotted
The Black-crowned Flycatcher is a small, rather inconspicuous flycatcher with a dusky or blackish crown and olive-brown plumage. It inhabits humid montane forests in Central America.
Where to spot
Distributed in Central America, specifically in Costa Rica and Panama. It prefers humid montane forests, often in the understory and mid-story.
How to spot
Look for this small, active bird in the lower to mid-story of montane forests. Its dark crown can be difficult to discern without good light. Listen for its soft, often repeated 'tsi' or 'tsee' calls, which are crucial for identification.
When to spot
A year-round resident. Best observed during early morning activity, when it might be more vocal and actively foraging.
Its dark crown, while a key feature, can be hard to spot in the shaded understory where it often forages, requiring careful observation to distinguish it from other subtle forest flycatchers.
