Kaempfer's Tody-Tyrant is a critically endangered and extremely rare small flycatcher, known from only a few locations in southeastern Brazil. Its survival is highly dependent on the conservation of its remaining habitat.
Where to spot
Known only from a few fragmented patches of lowland humid forest and forest edge in Santa Catarina and Paraná states, Brazil.
How to spot
Due to its rarity, observation is highly challenging. Efforts focus on habitat protection and surveys using playback of its vocalizations, which are its most reliable identifier.
When to spot
Observations are extremely rare, but like other tody-tyrants, it would be active during daylight hours, particularly in the morning.
