Spotted
A small, plain gray tapaculo endemic to the high Andes of south-central Peru. It is a secretive ground-dweller of humid montane forest undergrowth.
Where to spot
Endemic to the humid montane forests and cloud forests of the Urubamba and Vilcabamba mountain ranges in south-central Peru.
How to spot
Listen for its characteristic, often rapid and churring vocalizations. It is extremely shy and difficult to see; focus on detecting it by sound and then waiting patiently near the source in dense cover.
When to spot
Most active and vocal during early morning and late afternoon. Can be observed year-round in its specific high-altitude forest habitat.
