Spotted
The Olive-crescentchest is a small, elusive bird with a subtle crescent-shaped mark on its breast, characterized by olive-brown upperparts and pale underparts.
Where to spot
Inhabits arid scrublands, dry chaco woodland, and semi-open areas in Bolivia, Paraguay, and northern Argentina.
How to spot
Listen for its soft, often rattling calls. Search in dry, thorny scrub. They can be very difficult to spot due to their shy nature and camouflage.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active during early morning and late afternoon.
