Found in the high Andes of South America, typically in puna grasslands, rocky slopes, and semi-arid scrub at very high elevations.
How to spot
Scan open, rocky slopes and short grasslands in the high Andes. Look for its ground-foraging behavior and listen for its distinctive, often trilling calls.
When to spot
