Spotted
The Black Solitaire is a dark, rather uniformly colored thrush-like bird found in the Andes of South America. Its plumage is a glossy black, and it possesses a distinctive, ethereal song.
Where to spot
Humid montane forests and cloud forests in the Andes of Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, typically at mid to high elevations.
How to spot
Look in the mid-story and canopy of montane forests. While visually plain, its rich, fluty, and often repetitive song is a key to its detection and identification. Patience is needed for a clear view.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most vocal during the breeding season. Active throughout the day, often singing from a prominent perch.
