The Chotoy Spinetail is a distinctive ovenbird known for its elongated tail feathers and preference for open, grassy habitats. It often perches conspicuously on fence posts or low shrubs.
Where to spot
Grasslands, open woodlands, agricultural fields with scattered bushes, and chaco habitats in central and southern South America.
How to spot
Look for its long tail and upright posture on exposed perches. Listen for its distinctive, often explosive, vocalizations, especially during display flights.
When to spot
Year-round. Look for it especially during the breeding season (spring/summer) when males are performing their display flights and singing vigorously.
