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.
