The Patagonian Canastero is a small, terrestrial ovenbird found in the arid scrublands of southern South America. Its drab plumage helps it blend seamlessly into its dry, thorny environment.
Where to spot
Arid and semi-arid scrublands, steppes, and shrubby areas in Patagonia, primarily Argentina, with some range extending into Chile.
How to spot
Look for its quick movements among low, thorny bushes. Listen for its distinctive, often buzzy calls. Patience is key as they can be secretive.
When to spot
Year-round, with increased vocal activity during the breeding season (austral spring and summer). Best observed in early morning or late afternoon.

Despite its somewhat plain appearance, it's a very active forager, constantly darting through low vegetation in search of insects.
