The White-throated Tinamou is a medium-sized, ground-dwelling bird of the Amazon rainforest, distinguished by its whitish throat and dull brown body plumage. Like other tinamous, it is highly secretive, relying on camouflage and stillness to avoid detection in its dense forest habitat.
Where to spot
Lowland tropical moist forests and rainforests in the Amazon basin, including parts of Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia.
How to spot
Successful observation hinges on listening for its calls and then patiently waiting in areas of dense undergrowth. Movement should be slow and quiet. Using binoculars to scan the forest floor for any subtle movement or shape that doesn't quite fit the surroundings is helpful.
When to spot
Most active during the early morning and late afternoon, when their calls are most frequently heard. They are present throughout the year.
