The Austral Blackbird is a medium-sized, entirely glossy black icterid with a relatively long tail, found in southern South America. Males have a blue-black sheen, while females are duller.
Where to spot
Found in southern South America, including Chile and Argentina. Inhabits open woodlands, agricultural fields, parks, and suburban areas, often in coastal regions.
How to spot
Look for its entirely glossy black plumage. It often forages on the ground in open areas. Listen for its varied, often harsh and squeaky calls, typical of blackbirds.
When to spot
Year-round resident in central parts, but migratory in Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego. Most active during the breeding season (Southern Hemisphere spring/summer).
