Pearly-vented Tody-Tyrant

Hemitriccus margaritaceiventer

A miniature of the forest with two golden lanterns for eyes. Easier to hear than to see, until those eyes find you.

It weighs less than a sheet of paper and lives in the forest tangles, where its dry trrr sounds all day. Finding it takes patience, but when it appears, the bright golden eye against the plain plumage makes it one of the most sought-after portraits in the Ibera.

Behaviour

Restless and confiding, it works the low and mid foliage in little hops, hunting tiny insects.

How and when to see it

All year round in woods and scrub. Stay still near its call: curiosity brings it in on its own.
