The Pampas Meadowlark is a medium-sized icterid found in grasslands of southeastern South America. Males have a black body with a striking red breast and throat, while females are duller and streaky.
Where to spot
Restricted to the grasslands of southern Brazil, Uruguay, and central-eastern Argentina. Found in native grasslands, often near water.
How to spot
To observe this endangered species, visit protected grassland reserves within its range. Look for males singing from low perches or foraging on the ground, identifiable by their red breast.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best sought during the breeding season (Southern Hemisphere spring and summer) when males are most vocal and visible.
