Koepcke's Hermit is a less common and geographically restricted hermit hummingbird, known for its warm rufous underparts and relatively small size within the hermit genus. It is found in specific dry forest habitats.
Where to spot
Its range is very restricted, primarily found in humid to semi-humid evergreen forests, often on slopes and ravines, in southeastern Peru.
How to spot
Requires targeted searching within its specific Peruvian habitat. Look for its rufous coloration and listen for its distinctive, often high-pitched, calls in the dense forest understory.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours. Due to its restricted and specific habitat, any observation time can be valuable, but early mornings are generally best for bird activity.
