Distribution

Introduction

Black-chinned Mountain Tanager has a long, narrow distribution approximately 50 km wide and 1100 km long in the northwestern Andes (Parker et al. 1996, Hilty 2011). This narrow strip begins in Colombia in east central Chocó and runs southwest along the west slope of the Andes to northwestern Ecuador in Pichincha, with an apparently disjunct population in southwestern Ecuador in El Oro (Robbins and Ridgely 1990, Ridgely and Greenfield 2001).

The elevational range of Black-chinned Mountain Tanagers is from 900-2200 m (Hilty and Brown 1986, Isler and Isler 1987), and they have a center of elevational abundance in the Upper Tropical Zone (Parker et al. 1996).

Black-chinned Mountain Tanager is endemic to South America.
