Named after Charles Darwin, this small tinamou is found in open, arid grasslands and puna of the southern Andes. It is known for its cryptic plumage and elusive nature.
Where to spot
Inhabits dry grasslands, puna, and agricultural areas in the Andes and adjacent lowlands of southern Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina.
How to spot
Listen for its soft, often repeated, hooting calls. Scan open, often sparse, vegetation. They tend to freeze or run through cover rather than flying when approached.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, often foraging in the open.
