The Red-headed Warbler (Atlapetes seebohmi) (Passeriformes, Passerellidae) is distributed in the Central Andes of South America, from southern Ecuador to the Ancash region of Peru. The objective of this study is to evaluate the current population status of Atlapetes seebohmi and suggest conservation measures for the left bank of the Quebrada Grande, Salpo, Otuzco, La Libertad region. Data collection was initiated by the authors from April to October 2025 in the Salpo district, located at 8°11’15.2” S and 78°36’15.2” W, at an elevation of 3,462 m (Plaza Mayor) and 90 km from the coastal city of Trujillo. The species was identified using the transect method and intensive search along routes through remnant forests, grasslands, and scrublands. The species was identified with the aid of specialized field and office guides. The species is illustrated with digital photographs, and the following information is also included: order, family, scientific name, conservation status according to IUCN (2025-1), exomorphological description, ethology, habitat, diet, reproduction, and geographic distribution. A comparison with related species is also provided. Additionally, photographs demonstrating habitat burning are included. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of protecting the natural geographic distribution area of the species Atlapetes neebohmi to ensure its current conservation status, natural history, biology, ecology, and other aspects.
