Spotted
The Ochre-breasted Spinetail is a small, shy ovenbird with a subtle ochre wash on its underparts. It typically inhabits dense undergrowth in humid forests.
Where to spot
Lowland humid forests, secondary growth, and forest edges in southeastern Brazil, Paraguay, and northeastern Argentina.
How to spot
Patience is key due to its skulking nature. Listen for its high-pitched, often repeated calls, which are the best way to locate it in dense cover. Look for slight movements in the undergrowth.
When to spot
Year-round. Best observed in the early morning or late afternoon when birds are most active. Listen for its distinctive calls.
