Chapin's Babbler is a distinctive species found in the montane forests of Central Africa. It is characterized by its plain brownish plumage with a slightly paler throat and a slender bill.
Where to spot
Found in parts of Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, and Uganda. Inhabits dense montane evergreen forests, particularly in the undergrowth and bamboo thickets.
How to spot
Listen for its quiet, often trilling or chattering calls. Look for subtle movements in the leaf litter or low shrubs. Its plain plumage requires careful observation of shape and behavior for positive ID.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active in the early morning and late afternoon. Observation can be challenging due to its secretive nature and dense habitat.
Named after James P. Chapin, an American ornithologist, this species is part of the rich biodiversity found in the remote montane regions of Africa.
