Spotted
The Red-backed Antwren is a small, critically endangered antwren known from only a tiny fragment of Atlantic Forest. It is distinguished by the male's rufous-red back.
Where to spot
Critically endangered and restricted to a tiny area of humid Atlantic Forest in Rio de Janeiro state, southeastern Brazil.
How to spot
Requires extreme patience and specialized guidance in its very limited, protected habitat. Listen for its distinctive vocalizations, as visual encounters are incredibly rare and require luck.
When to spot
Year-round resident, but exceptionally difficult to find. Best sought in early morning.
