Where to spot
High-altitude grasslands and shrublands of the southern Andes, primarily in central Chile and western Argentina, typically between 1,500 and 3,000 meters.
How to spot
Look for its larger size and intensely yellow plumage. It typically forages on the ground, often in open fields. Listen for its loud, clear calls, which can carry across open landscapes.
When to spot
Year-round resident. More conspicuous during the breeding season (austral spring/summer) when males are more vocal.
