The Common Miner is a widespread and familiar terrestrial bird of open, arid habitats, known for its ground-dwelling habits. Its sandy-brown plumage provides excellent camouflage.
Where to spot
Widespread in open, arid and semi-arid habitats, grasslands, and agricultural areas across most of southern South America, from Peru south to Patagonia.
How to spot
Look for it walking and running on the ground, often bobbing its head. Its distinctive terrestrial movements and preference for open areas make it relatively easy to spot.
When to spot
Active year-round, primarily during the day. Often conspicuous foraging in open fields or along roadsides.
