Spotted
The Spectacled Redstart is a handsome and widespread warbler of the Andes, easily identified by its contrasting black head with prominent yellow "spectacles" around its eyes and yellow underparts.
Where to spot
Widespread in the Andes, from southern Colombia and Ecuador south through Peru and Bolivia, reaching into northwest Argentina. Found in humid montane forests.
How to spot
Look in the mid-story and lower canopy of humid montane forests, often near streams or clearings. Watch for their characteristic tail-flicking and wing-spreading while foraging. Listen for their high-pitched, clear calls.
When to spot
A resident species, observable year-round in its range. Early to mid-morning is ideal for active observation.

This adaptable redstart often forages relatively low to the ground in the understory but can also be seen higher in the canopy, making it a versatile insectivore.
