The Black-girdled Bushbird is an extremely rare and critically endangered antbird, known for its distinctive plumage, including a broad black band across its breast. It is endemic to a small region of Peru.
Where to spot
Dense undergrowth of humid foothill forests, particularly bamboo thickets and vine tangles, exclusively in a very restricted area of northern Peru.
How to spot
Requires significant effort and a highly experienced local guide familiar with its specific vocalizations and habitat. Listen for any unique calls. Be prepared for long waits and minimal disturbance.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Observation is extremely challenging due to its rarity and specific habitat. Best chances might be during early morning, but any sighting is highly fortuitous.
