Spotted
The Caspian Snowcock is a magnificent large game bird found in the high mountain ranges from Turkey eastward to Central Asia. Its subtly patterned plumage provides excellent camouflage against the rocky, barren landscapes it calls home.
Where to spot
Found in rocky alpine and subalpine zones, scree slopes, and sparsely vegetated mountain ridges across its range, including parts of Turkey, Iran, and Central Asia.
How to spot
Often detected by its distinctive, loud whistling call. Requires significant effort to access their remote mountain habitats, so sturdy hiking gear and patience are essential.
When to spot
Best sought at dawn and dusk when they are most active. Summer months offer easier access to their high-altitude haunts.

Caspian Snowcocks are highly vocal, especially during the breeding season, with males emitting far-carrying whistling calls that announce their presence across vast mountain expanses.
