Where to spot
Breeds in humid grasslands and marshes of southeastern South America (southern Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Paraguay); winters in parts of central Brazil. Generally below 500 meters.
How to spot
Extremely difficult to find due to its rarity and declining numbers. Focus on specific high-quality marsh habitats. Learning its song is critical for identification. Seek local expert guides or conservation projects.
When to spot
Best observed during the breeding season (austral spring/summer) when present in its specific marsh habitats and males are vocal.
