The Brown-capped Tit-Spinetail is a small, active ovenbird, named for its brownish cap and tit-like foraging behavior. It is a resident of high-altitude montane shrublands and forests.
Where to spot
High-altitude montane shrublands, polylepis woodlands, and forest edges in the Andes of Colombia, Venezuela, and Ecuador. Found at elevations often above tree line.
How to spot
Listen for its high-pitched, often repetitive calls. Observe it actively gleaning insects from low shrubs and branches, often flicking its tail. Look for it in small family groups.
When to spot
Year-round resident, most active during the warmer parts of the day when insect activity is higher. Breeding season influences vocalizations.

Despite its small size, it is remarkably hardy, thriving in the often harsh and cold conditions of its high-Andean habitat.
