The Northern Nightingale-Wren is an exceptionally shy and elusive wren of dense forest undergrowth. It is far more often heard than seen, renowned for its ethereal, flute-like song.
Where to spot
Inhabits humid tropical and subtropical forests, typically in the dense understory of foothills and montane areas from southern Mexico to northern South America.
How to spot
Focus intently on listening for its distinct, ventriloquial song echoing through the forest. Spotting it requires immense patience and careful observation of subtle movements in deep shade, as it rarely ventures into the open.
When to spot
A year-round resident within its range. Best opportunities for detection are at dawn and dusk when it is most vocal.

Its common name 'Nightingale-Wren' perfectly describes its remarkable vocal abilities, which are considered among the most beautiful songs of any wren.
