Spotted
The Southern Nightingale-Wren is a deeply elusive inhabitant of tropical forest understory, known almost exclusively by its haunting and beautiful flute-like song. It is a small, dark, and secretive bird.
Where to spot
Found in humid tropical and subtropical forests, primarily in the understory of foothill and lower montane regions of South America, from Colombia to Bolivia and western Brazil.
How to spot
The primary method of detection is by listening for its distinct, far-carrying song. Look for subtle movements in very dense undergrowth or along small ravines; patience is essential.
When to spot
A resident species observed throughout the year. Its peak vocal activity is typically in the early morning and late afternoon.

Despite its powerful song, this wren is notoriously difficult to observe due to its preference for dense, dark forest habitats where it forages quietly on the ground.
