How to spot
Focus on the mid-story and canopy of humid cloud forests at higher elevations. Listen for its unique vocalizations, which are important for distinguishing it from similar species.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, particularly in the morning. It is a resident species, observable year-round in its restricted range.
