Spotted
The Many-striped Canastero is a distinctive ovenbird characterized by its heavily streaked plumage on the head, back, and underparts. It is a resident of high-Andean grasslands and paramo.
Where to spot
High-altitude grasslands (páramo and puna), montane scrub, and open, rocky slopes in the Andes, from Colombia to Peru. Found at very high elevations.
How to spot
Its streaked plumage is a key identifier. Listen for its high-pitched, often rapid and accelerating calls. Look for it foraging on the ground or in low bushes, often flitting between cover.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Active during daylight hours, especially when sun is out. Vocalizations increase during the breeding season.

Its heavily streaked plumage provides excellent camouflage amidst the grasses and rocky terrain of its high-altitude habitat, making it difficult to spot.
