The Maquipucuna Spinetail is a small, elusive Furnariid known for its restricted range in the Andean cloud forests. It typically forages in the dense understory.
Where to spot
Confined to a small area of humid montane cloud forest in the western Andes of northern Ecuador, generally found at elevations between 1,500 and 2,000 meters.
How to spot
Requires patience due to its secretive nature and preference for dense vegetation. Look for it foraging alone or in mixed-species flocks in the forest understory. Listen for its high-pitched calls.
When to spot
Best observed during daylight hours, often more active and vocal in the early morning and late afternoon. Rain can make them less active.
