The Cinereous Harrier is a medium-sized raptor of South America, known for its elegant flight over open grasslands and wetlands. Males are distinctively grey, females browner.
Where to spot
Widespread across South America, from Colombia to Tierra del Fuego. It inhabits open grasslands, pampas, savannas, and wetlands.
How to spot
Look for its buoyant flight with wings held in a V-shape. Males are striking with grey plumage. Females are browner but share the flight style. Scan large open expanses of land.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, often seen quartering low over open areas. Observable year-round in its range, though some populations may undertake local migrations.

Like other harriers, this species has an owl-like facial disc that helps it funnel sound to its ears, aiding in locating prey moving through dense vegetation or under snow.
