Grallaricula nana (Lafresnaye, 1842)
| |
It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, and Venezuela. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. Its preferences include relatively dense second-growth forests and stands of bamboo, so it is threatened by deforestation in the Andes.[3] Nests of this species often rely on bamboo twigs.[4]
