The Djibouti Spurfowl is a critically endangered and highly localized spurfowl species found only in a very small area of Djibouti. Its survival is precarious due to severe habitat degradation.
Where to spot
Restricted to relict juniper-boxwood woodlands and adjacent rocky areas on the Goda Mountains in Djibouti.
How to spot
Requires specialized expeditions to its extremely limited habitat. Focus on undisturbed patches of dense woodland. Listen for calls, though vocalizations are not widely known. Given its critical status, any sighting is highly significant.
When to spot
Observations are extremely rare and opportunistic. Potential sightings would likely occur during early morning or late afternoon when birds might be foraging.
