Cabanis's Ground-Sparrow is a striking ground-dwelling bird, recognized by its bold black and white head stripes and rufous ear coverts. It is a secretive inhabitant of humid montane forests.
Where to spot
Found in the highlands of southern Mexico (Oaxaca) and northern Central America (Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras). It inhabits humid montane forests, cloud forests, and dense secondary growth, often on steep slopes.
How to spot
Look for its prominent white supercilium, black crown, and rufous patch behind the eye. It forages primarily on the ground in dense undergrowth. Listen for its simple, repetitive song, often a series of clear, whistled notes.
When to spot
Resident year-round within its range. Most active during the early morning and late afternoon.
