Spotted
The Tamarugo Conebill is a highly localized and endangered species, characterized by its gray upperparts, white underparts, and slender conical bill. It is critically dependent on specific tree species.
Where to spot
Highly restricted to the extremely arid Tamarugo forests in northern Chile and extreme southern Peru.
How to spot
Look for it foraging on the unique Tamarugo trees. Its relatively plain coloration requires careful observation, but its association with these trees is a key clue.
When to spot
Year-round resident, though some local movements may occur. Observation often requires visiting specific, protected Tamarugo forests.
This species is named after the "Tamarugo" (Prosopis tamarugo) tree, a drought-adapted native tree, whose flowers and associated insects form a crucial part of its diet.
