Spotted
The Cocha Antshrike is a rare and highly localized species, endemic to a very specific region of the western Amazon. It is a secretive bird of the forest understory.
Where to spot
Dense undergrowth of humid lowland rainforests, particularly near oxbow lakes and meander bends in the western Amazon basin (Peru).
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, accelerating 'tew-tew-tew-tew' call. Observe from a distance with extreme patience, focusing on subtle movements in the thick vegetation. A local guide is highly recommended.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active in the early morning and late afternoon. Its calls are the best way to locate this elusive bird.
