Spotted
The Pacific Antwren is a small antwren found in the dense undergrowth of humid lowland and foothill forests along the Pacific slope. It is often heard before it is seen, thanks to its persistent calls.
Where to spot
Pacific slope of western Colombia and northwestern Ecuador.
How to spot
Search in the dense understory and bamboo thickets. Listen for its distinctive, often accelerating calls. It can be elusive, so a patient wait or playback might be helpful.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed in the early morning or late afternoon when actively foraging.
