Spotted
The Brown Nunlet is a small, uniformly brownish species, characterized by its plain plumage and pale eye-ring. It is a quiet and often elusive forest bird.
Where to spot
Found in northwestern South America, particularly in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. It inhabits humid lowland and foothill rainforests, often in the dense understory.
How to spot
Look for its uniform brown plumage and pale eye-ring. It often perches quietly on low branches or vines. Its calls are typically soft, high-pitched whistles, so visual scanning in dense foliage is often key to finding it.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, but often spends long periods perched motionless. Best observed in the early morning or late afternoon. It is a resident species.
This nunlet is remarkably cryptic, blending almost perfectly with its dark forest surroundings, making it a true challenge for even experienced birdwatchers to spot.
