The Apurimac Spinetail is a rare and highly localized ovenbird, restricted to the dry inter-Andean valleys of Peru. It has a relatively drab plumage, making its voice crucial for identification.
Where to spot
Dry scrub, thorny woodland, and riparian thickets in the Apurimac Valley of southern Peru.
How to spot
Requires dedicated searching within its specific valley habitat. Listen for its unique calls, and look for movements in dense, low vegetation. Local knowledge is highly beneficial.
When to spot
Year-round. Best detected by its distinct vocalizations, especially in the early morning.
