The Masked Saltator is a distinctive and localized songbird native to the humid montane forests of the northern Andes. It is characterized by its dark, masked face, contrasting with a white throat and a prominent white collar, along with olive-green upperparts.
Where to spot
Found in localized areas of the humid eastern Andes of Colombia, Ecuador, and northern Peru. Inhabits humid montane forests and cloud forests, typically at high elevations.
How to spot
Look for its striking black facial mask, white throat, and white collar. It can be challenging to see high in the canopy. Listen for its clear, ringing song, a series of pure, whistled notes, which is often the best way to locate it.
When to spot
Active year-round. Best observed during early mornings when birds are most active and vocal.
