Spotted
A small, drab tapaculo of the far southern Andes, often found in dense temperate forests and scrub. It is a highly secretive ground-dweller.
Where to spot
Found in the humid temperate forests, dense scrub, and bamboo thickets of southern Chile and Argentina, including Tierra del Fuego.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, often rattling or churring calls. It is extremely shy and difficult to see; focus on detecting it by sound and then waiting patiently near the source in dense cover.
When to spot
Most active and vocal during early morning and late afternoon. Can be observed year-round.
