Spotted
The Planalto Tyrannulet is a common and widespread small flycatcher in eastern South America. It has a relatively plain, brownish-olive plumage but is a characteristic bird of its habitat.
Where to spot
Widespread across eastern and southern South America, including Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia, and northern Argentina. It inhabits a variety of open woodlands, scrub, cerrado, and semi-deciduous forests.
How to spot
Look for this small, active flycatcher in the mid-story of trees and bushes. It often perches conspicuously before making short sallies for insects. Its relatively plain appearance means vocalizations, a distinctive series of 'chip' notes, are important for identification.
When to spot
A year-round resident. Best observed during daylight hours, especially in the morning when it is actively foraging and vocalizing.
