i know this sounds insane but it has worked for me before. last year i heard a cartoony noise in the mountains and told the guide i heard an antshrike and he said there weren't expected antshrikes there. we looked and it was a uniform antshrike, his first for the eastern andes where it's uncommon 🪶🧪

tropical birdsong is really hard because like 50% of the birds just make weird trills and rolls. so you gotta go by voice. foliage gleaners sound annoyed. antshrikes are like cartoon characters. antpittas either sound tired or like they'd be very nice to you. flycatchers want you dead 🪶🦉🧪
