Spotted
The Fulvous Antshrike is a large and robust antshrike, distinguished by its rich fulvous (tawny-orange) plumage, especially on the underparts. It is a shy inhabitant of humid tropical forests.
Where to spot
Dense undergrowth and vine tangles within humid lowland and foothill evergreen forests, primarily in southwestern Colombia and northwestern Ecuador.
How to spot
Listen for its deep, resonant hooting calls. Observe with great patience, focusing on subtle movements in the dense understory. Using a local guide familiar with its calls is highly beneficial.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active during the early morning and late afternoon, and throughout the day when foraging. Calls are more frequent during the breeding season.
