Known for its short wings and rounded body, it often stays close to the ground, making it difficult to spot. Tapaculos are known for their distinctive calls, which can vary significantly between species. These birds belong to the family Rhinocryptidae and are typically insectivorous, feeding on insects and other small invertebrates. They prefer dense underbrush and are often associated with humid environments. Their elusive nature and unique vocalizations make them a fascinating subject for birdwatchers and ornithologists alike.
