Where to spot
Humid montane cloud forests and their edges, typically at elevations between 1,000 and 2,000 meters, in the Andes of Colombia, Ecuador, and northern Peru.
How to spot
Look for this bird perched quietly in the mid-story or canopy of montane forests. Its white face can be a key identification feature against the darker forest background, especially if sunlight hits it.
When to spot
Year-round, with heightened activity during the early morning hours, particularly after sunrise.

Despite its relatively large size for a puffbird, the White-faced Nunbird is often elusive, relying on its camouflaged plumage to remain hidden in its dense forest environment.
