Spotted
The Nariño Tapaculo is a small, enigmatic bird that is challenging to observe due to its reclusive habits and dark plumage. It typically prefers the dense, mossy undergrowth of high-elevation forests.
Where to spot
Inhabits high-elevation humid montane forests, primarily found along the Andean slopes in southwestern Colombia and northwestern Ecuador.
How to spot
Identification relies heavily on its unique, rather slow vocalizations. Observe dense forest floor vegetation and listen carefully for its calls, as visual glimpses are usually brief and at close range.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, but vocalizations are most frequent during early morning and late afternoon hours, especially during the breeding season.
This species was only recently recognized as distinct, highlighting the ongoing discoveries in Neotropical bird diversity and the subtle differences among tapaculos.
