The Plain Thornbird is a rather nondescript ovenbird, often considered part of a complex with the Rufous-fronted Thornbird, characterized by its brownish plumage and the typical thornbird habit of building large stick nests.
Where to spot
Dry scrub, semi-open woodlands, and thorny savannas in South America. Prefers areas with dense, spiny vegetation suitable for nesting.
How to spot
Locate its large, conspicuous stick nest, which is a strong indicator of its presence. Listen for its loud, often harsh vocalizations. Observe it foraging in dense, thorny bushes.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active during the day, particularly during the nesting season when they are busy building and maintaining their elaborate nests.
