Spotted
The Dusky-tailed Canastero is a small Furnariid characterized by its somewhat dusky tail and preference for open, dry habitats. It is a ground-foraging species.
Where to spot
Found in arid and semi-arid scrublands, desert valleys, and rocky slopes in the Andes of Peru and Chile.
How to spot
Look for it foraging on the ground or in low, dense scrub. It can be quite inconspicuous, so patience and careful scanning of the landscape are needed.
When to spot
Active during the cooler parts of the day, early morning and late afternoon. It is a resident species, observable year-round.

Canasteros, or 'basket-makers,' are named for their elaborate, often basket-like nests, a remarkable engineering feat among Furnariids.
