Jelski's Tyrannulet is a small, subtly marked flycatcher known from the humid montane forests of the central Andes. Its coloration allows it to blend into its arboreal environment.
Where to spot
Found in the mid-story and sub-canopy of humid montane and cloud forests in central Peru and Bolivia.
How to spot
Look carefully for its small size and subtle plumage in dense forest. Its high-pitched, often simple vocalizations are key to its detection.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, often more vocal in the mornings. It is a resident species, observable year-round.

This species often forages by gleaning insects from foliage or making short hover-gleans rather than long sallies.
