Spotted
The Rufous-capped Nunlet is a small and often inconspicuous puffbird, characterized by its dull plumage and a distinctive rufous cap. It typically perches quietly in the lower to mid-canopy of humid forests.
Where to spot
Humid evergreen forests and forest edges in the Amazon basin of South America, including parts of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil.
How to spot
Look for motionless birds perched on branches in the understory or mid-story. Listen for its soft, often mournful calls. Patience is key due to their sedentary nature.
When to spot
Year-round, but most active and vocal during the early morning and late afternoon.
