The Red-crowned Antvireo is a small and active bird, characterized by the rufous crown on males and subtle plumage overall. It inhabits the mid-story and understory of humid forests.
Where to spot
Mid-story and understory of humid lowland and foothill evergreen forests, secondary growth, and forest edges, across much of Central and South America (e.g., Mexico to Brazil).
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, accelerating 'chip-chip-chip' or 'tew-tew-tew' calls. Scan the dense foliage patiently. Often found in mixed-species flocks, moving quickly through the vegetation.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active in the early morning and late afternoon. Calls are frequent, especially during the breeding season.
