The Freckle-breasted Thornbird is a medium-sized ovenbird with a streaked appearance on its breast, giving it a 'freckled' look, and a rufous crown. It is a resident of dry and semi-humid habitats.
Where to spot
Dry and semi-humid Chaco woodlands, scrub, and open savannas in central South America, particularly Bolivia, Paraguay, and Argentina. Favors areas with thorny trees.
How to spot
Look for its large, multi-chambered stick nest. Listen for its loud, chattering calls. Observe it moving through thorny vegetation, gleaning insects.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active during the daytime, especially when constructing or maintaining its substantial nest.

The thorny nature of its nests not only deters predators but also provides microhabitats for various insects and small reptiles.
