How to spot
Look for its robust size and prominent large bill as it walks on open ground. Listen for its rich, whistling song, often delivered from a low perch or in flight.
When to spot
Observable year-round, active during the cooler parts of the day.

Its unusually large bill is a specialized tool for cracking open the hard seeds that form a significant part of its diet in dry environments.
