Spotted
The Magdalena Tapaculo is a highly localized and cryptic species, part of the challenging tapaculo family. It is typically dark-plumaged and prefers the dense, humid understory of montane forests.
Where to spot
Restricted to specific areas of the Andean slopes, primarily in humid montane forests within the Magdalena Valley region of Colombia.
How to spot
Due to its shy nature, identifying the Magdalena Tapaculo relies heavily on recognizing its distinct vocalizations. Patiently wait near dense thickets and listen for its calls, as it rarely ventures into the open.
When to spot
Active year-round, with peak vocal activity during the breeding season, typically early mornings.
