The Highland Tody-Tyrant is a small, rather drab member of the tyrant flycatcher family, often found in the humid montane forests of South America. It is typically inconspicuous, blending well with its leafy surroundings.
Where to spot
Found in montane cloud forests and humid forests, primarily along the eastern slopes of the Andes in countries like Peru and Bolivia, at mid to high elevations.
How to spot
Look for it perched quietly on a branch in the mid-story or understory of the forest. Listen for its high-pitched, often repeated calls, which are key to its detection.
When to spot
Most active during daylight hours, particularly in the early morning and late afternoon. Can be observed year-round within its resident range.
