Spotted
The Dwarf Tinamou is one of the smallest and most elusive members of the tinamou family, found exclusively in specific grassland habitats of South America. Its diminutive size and shy nature contribute to its rarity in observations.
Where to spot
Restricted to humid grasslands and cerrado habitats in specific parts of Brazil, Paraguay, and Bolivia.
How to spot
Patience is key; look for slight movements in dense grass or sparse vegetation. Listening for its quiet, flute-like calls can help pinpoint its location.
When to spot
Most active during dawn and dusk, when it primarily forages for insects and seeds.

This tiny tinamou is known to lay remarkably colorful and glossy eggs, often a vivid blue or green, which are a striking contrast to its drab, camouflaged body.
