The Caribbean Hornero is a Furnariid found along the Caribbean coast of northern South America. Like its relatives, it builds a remarkable mud nest and forages on the ground.
Where to spot
Found along the Caribbean coast of northern South America, including parts of Colombia and Venezuela, in open habitats, pastures, and agricultural areas.
How to spot
Look for it foraging on the ground in open areas. Its relatively stocky build and plain brown plumage are typical. Watch for its distinctive mud nests on exposed branches, poles, or buildings.
When to spot
Active year-round. Nest building is a prominent activity during the breeding season.

Horneros are sometimes called 'ovenbirds' due to their elaborate, enclosed, oven-shaped nests, which provide excellent protection for their eggs and chicks from predators and weather.
