The Cactus Canastero is a small, pale ovenbird well-adapted to life in arid environments, particularly those dominated by cacti. Its plumage provides excellent camouflage against such backgrounds.
Where to spot
Arid scrublands, desert areas, and cactus forests in western Peru.
How to spot
Look for it foraging on the ground or perched amongst cacti. Its pale coloration can make it blend in well. Listen for its characteristic calls.
When to spot
Year-round, often most active during the cooler parts of the day in early mornings or late afternoons.

As its name suggests, it frequently uses large cacti for nesting and shelter, providing protection from predators and the harsh sun.
