The Ecuadorian Rail (Rallus aequatorialis) is a secretive and largely terrestrial bird found in the high-altitude wetlands of the Andes. Its elusive nature makes it challenging to observe directly.
Where to spot
High-altitude wetlands, marshes, bogs, and wet grasslands in the Andes Mountains, primarily found in Ecuador and southern Colombia.
How to spot
Focus on listening for its distinct calls from dense vegetation near water. Patience is key, as they are more often heard than seen, only occasionally venturing into the open.
When to spot
Year-round within its resident range. Best opportunities for observation are during dawn and dusk when they are most active and vocal.

This rail's scientific name, 'aequatorialis,' directly refers to its distribution in countries situated along the equator.
