Burmeister's Tyrannulet is a small, inconspicuous flycatcher with a generally olive-green and yellowish plumage. It inhabits humid montane forests of South America.
Where to spot
Found along the eastern slopes of the Andes, from northern Venezuela south through Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia. It prefers humid montane forests, including cloud forest and forest edges.
How to spot
Look for this small bird in the mid to upper canopy, where it actively gleans insects. Its overall olive-green and yellowish coloration can make it blend in. Listen for its high-pitched, sometimes complex vocalizations, which are often the first sign of its presence.
When to spot
Resides year-round in its highland range. Best observed during active foraging periods in the morning and late afternoon.

Named after Hermann Burmeister, a German naturalist, this tyrannulet is often difficult to spot in the dense forest canopy, making its subtle vocalizations important for detection.
