The Cipo Canastero is a highly localized and vulnerable ovenbird with a generally drab, brownish plumage, found only in the campos rupestres (rocky fields) of Brazil's Espinhaço Range.
Where to spot
High-altitude rocky fields and shrublands in the Espinhaço Range of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Found in open, rocky, and often treeless environments.
How to spot
Listen for its characteristic calls, which are crucial for detection in its often challenging habitat. Look for it foraging on the ground or low in sparse bushes, often very quickly.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Active during daylight hours, with vocalizations increasing during the breeding season, typically aligning with the wet season.
