Spotted
The Ayacucho Canastero is a highly localized and vulnerable ovenbird, characterized by its streaked plumage and subtle rufous tones. It is endemic to a small region of the Peruvian Andes.
Where to spot
High-altitude montane scrub and Polylepis woodlands in the Ayacucho region of Peru. Found at high elevations, often near the treeline.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, often accelerating calls. Look for it foraging actively in the canopy and mid-story of stunted trees and dense bushes, often in mixed flocks.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active during early mornings. Its limited range and specific habitat make it a challenging species to encounter.
This species is named after the Ayacucho region of Peru, where its restricted habitat emphasizes the importance of regional conservation efforts.
