Spotted
The Giant Conebill is, as its name suggests, one of the larger conebills, characterized by its deep blue-gray plumage and a strong, conical bill. It inhabits high-altitude Andean cloud forests.
Where to spot
High-altitude humid montane forests and cloud forests of the Andes in Peru and Bolivia, often in areas with bamboo.
How to spot
Look for it moving through the canopy or bamboo thickets. Its relatively large size for a conebill and uniform blue-gray plumage are key identifiers.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed in the early morning.
Despite its "giant" moniker within the conebill genus, it's still a relatively small bird. It's often associated with particular bamboo species, on which it forages.
