Spotted
The Starred Treerunner is a beautiful ovenbird named for the intricate white 'stars' or spots on its underparts, which stand out against its dark plumage. It is found in high-elevation cloud forests.
Where to spot
Humid montane and cloud forests in the northern and central Andes, from Colombia to Peru. Typically found at higher elevations on mossy trees.
How to spot
Look for its distinctive white spots. It often joins mixed-species flocks, so observe tree trunks and branches carefully within these groups. Listen for its soft, whispering calls.
When to spot
Year-round resident, most active during the morning. Its activity can be influenced by weather patterns in its high-altitude habitat.

The unique 'starred' pattern on its belly helps camouflage it against the mottled light of the high-altitude forest canopy, making it challenging for predators to spot.
