The Brown Tinamou is a medium-sized, cryptically colored ground bird widespread in humid forests across South America. It is renowned for its beautiful, flute-like vocalizations.
Where to spot
Inhabits humid tropical and subtropical forests, montane forests, and humid woodlands across a broad range in southeastern South America, extending north into parts of the Andes.
How to spot
The best way to locate this elusive bird is by listening intently for its diagnostic, ascending and descending whistled calls. Remain still and scan the forest floor; its superb camouflage makes visual detection incredibly difficult.
When to spot
Most active and vocal during the twilight hours of dawn and dusk, when its calls are most frequently heard.
