The Black-throated Wren is a distinctive wren found in humid Central American forests, characterized by its striking black throat. It is a secretive but vocal resident of dense undergrowth.
Where to spot
Inhabits humid lowland and foothill forests, particularly in dense undergrowth and ravines, from southern Costa Rica to western Panama.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, ringing song, which can be quite repetitive. Look for a medium-sized wren foraging low in dense thickets or along forest edges. Its black throat is a key field mark.
When to spot
A year-round resident. Most active and vocal during the early morning and late afternoon.
