The Mérida Tapaculo is a small, inconspicuous bird known for its skulking habits within the dense understory of montane forests. Its dark plumage makes it difficult to detect visually.
Where to spot
Confined to the humid montane forests of the Venezuelan Andes, primarily in the Mérida region.
How to spot
Listen for its characteristic, often short and repetitive, calls. Focus your observations on very dense low vegetation, especially bamboo thickets or tangled vines, as it hops on the ground.
When to spot
Active year-round. Its calls are most often heard in the early morning and late afternoon.
