Spotted
The Masafuera Rayadito is a critically endangered and highly localized ovenbird, endemic to Alejandro Selkirk Island in the Juan Fernández Archipelago. It is similar to its mainland relative but distinct.
Where to spot
Endemic to the remaining forested areas and shrubland on Alejandro Selkirk Island, Chile. It is extremely restricted in its distribution.
How to spot
Observation requires visiting its highly specific and protected island habitat. Look for its active foraging on tree trunks and branches, and learn its specific calls, which can vary from the Thorn-tailed Rayadito.
When to spot
Extremely difficult to observe due to its rarity. Any daylight hour offers a chance, but dedicated conservation efforts are usually involved in its monitoring.
