The Puna Miner is a terrestrial bird endemic to the high-altitude puna grasslands of the Andes. It is adapted to cold, arid environments and often found near rocky outcrops.
Where to spot
Found in high-altitude puna grasslands and barren slopes of the Andes, from southern Peru south through Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina.
How to spot
Look for it foraging on the ground, often near rocks or sparse vegetation. Its terrestrial habit and preference for open, high-altitude landscapes are key indicators.
When to spot
Active year-round, primarily during the day. Best observed in the calmer periods of the day, avoiding strong winds.

Like other miners, the Puna Miner excavates burrows in the ground or utilizes natural crevices for nesting and roosting in its harsh high-altitude environment.
