Spotted
Pelzeln's Elaenia is a subtle and localized small flycatcher, similar in appearance to other elaenias. It is typically found in the canopy and subcanopy of humid lowland forests.
Where to spot
Known from specific, often localized populations across the Amazon basin in South America, particularly in Brazil and adjacent countries.
How to spot
Requires careful distinction from other elaenias, often relying on subtle plumage variations and specific vocalizations. Focus on the canopy of humid forests and listen for its distinctive calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round within its limited range. Observations are challenging due to its canopy preference and often inconspicuous nature; early mornings are best.
