Spotted
A small antpitta with a restricted range in the cloud forests of northern Peru. It is a secretive forest dweller, often detected by its distinctive vocalizations.
Where to spot
Endemic to the humid montane forests and cloud forests of northern Peru, particularly on the eastern slopes of the Andes in the departments of Amazonas and San Martín.
How to spot
Listen for its high-pitched calls. Patience is key, as it typically remains concealed in dense undergrowth, hopping quietly on the forest floor or low branches.
When to spot
Most active and vocal during early morning and late afternoon. Can be observed year-round in its specific montane forest habitat.
