Spotted
The Colombian Crake is a small, secretive rail found in high-altitude marshes and wetlands of the Andes Mountains. It has dull brown upperparts, greyish underparts, and a small, pointed bill. It is poorly known due to its elusive nature and restricted habitat, making it a challenging species to find.
Where to spot
Endemic to the northern Andes, primarily found in high-altitude marshes and wetlands of Colombia and possibly adjacent Venezuela.
How to spot
Extremely difficult to observe due to its elusive nature and dense marsh habitat. Listen for its calls, which are described as a series of short, sharp 'pip-pip-pip' notes or a low trill, often given from within dense vegetation.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active at dawn and dusk.

This crake inhabits the unique and often remote 'páramo' (high-altitude grassland and marsh) ecosystems of the Andes, making it a specialized and fascinating high-altitude rail.
