Where to spot
High-altitude wetlands, boggy grasslands, and montane scrub in the Andes of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia.
How to spot
Extremely difficult to observe due to its secretive nature and remote habitat. Requires patience and often spotlighting at night. Listen for its deep, booming display call at suitable breeding sites.
When to spot
Can be observed year-round in its highland range. Best opportunities for observation are often at dawn, dusk, or during its nocturnal display flights in the breeding season.
