The Whiskered Wren is a small, distinctive wren of Central American forests, named for its fine streaking on the throat and cheeks, giving a 'whiskered' appearance. It is an active insectivore.
Where to spot
Inhabits humid lowland and foothill forests, particularly in dense undergrowth and ravines, from southern Mexico to western Panama.
How to spot
Listen for its varied, musical song. Look for a small wren actively foraging in dense vegetation, often near the ground. Try to spot the fine streaking on its face and throat.
When to spot
A year-round resident. Most active and vocal during the early morning and late afternoon.
