The Tatamá Tapaculo is a small, dark bird found exclusively in specific montane forests. Like other tapaculos, it is highly elusive, spending its life hidden in dense undergrowth.
Where to spot
Strictly endemic to the humid montane forests of the Cordillera Occidental of Colombia, particularly around Tatamá National Natural Park.
How to spot
Identification relies almost entirely on its unique vocalizations. Patiently search the densest parts of the understory, near the forest floor, where it hops and scurries quietly.
When to spot
Active throughout the year, with its characteristic vocalizations most likely heard during early morning and late afternoon.
