Wet grasslands, marshes, and damp shrublands in southeastern South America, including parts of Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Argentina.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive vocalizations, which can help pinpoint its location. Look for it creeping through tall grasses and reeds, occasionally popping up into view.
When to spot
Year-round, but more vocal and active during the breeding season (austral spring and summer). Best observed in the morning.
