The Zapata Wren is a critically endangered and highly localized wren, endemic to a very specific wetland habitat in Cuba. It is one of the world's most elusive and threatened bird species.
Where to spot
Strictly endemic to the Zapata Swamp in Cuba, found only in dense, wet grasslands (especially sawgrass) and low, scrubby vegetation of flooded savannas.
How to spot
Extremely difficult to observe due to its shy nature and dense, impenetrable habitat. Focus on visiting specific parts of the Zapata Swamp with experienced local guides and listen for its distinctive, loud, and harsh calls.
When to spot
A resident species observed year-round. Its activity is highest during the early morning and late afternoon.

This species is so rare and restricted that it was long thought to be extinct after its discovery in 1926, before being rediscovered decades later.
