Azara's Spinetail is a common and widespread ovenbird in Andean regions, distinguished by its rufous cap and dark streaks on its underparts. It prefers dense undergrowth.
Where to spot
Humid montane forests, cloud forests, and dense secondary growth in the Andes from Venezuela to Bolivia.
How to spot
Look for its rufous cap and streaked breast. Listen for its loud, accelerating, reedy trill. It typically stays low in dense cover, so patience is required for good views.
When to spot
Year-round. Very vocal during the breeding season. Active in early mornings and late afternoons.
