The Iquitos Gnatcatcher is a recently described species of gnatcatcher, endemic to a specific region of Amazonian Peru. It is a tiny, active bird typically found in tropical forest canopy.
Where to spot
Known only from a small area of white-sand forest (varillal) near Iquitos in northeastern Peru.
How to spot
Due to its restricted range and canopy-dwelling habits, observation requires visiting the specific white-sand forests near Iquitos. Look for small, fast-moving birds at tree-top level and listen for their fine, high-pitched notes.
When to spot
Year-round resident within its highly restricted habitat. Best observed during early morning hours.
