The Junin Canastero is a rare and localized ovenbird with a relatively plain brown plumage and a subtle pale supercilium. It is endemic to the high-altitude grasslands around Lake Junín in Peru.
Where to spot
High-altitude wetlands, marshy grasslands, and reedbeds around Lake Junín in central Peru. Found at very high elevations.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, often buzzy calls. Look for it moving through dense grass and sedges near water, often keeping low and hidden. Patience is required to get a good view.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active during the cooler parts of the day. Its secretive nature makes it difficult to observe, but early mornings are generally best.
