The Puna Tinamou is a high-altitude resident of the Andean region, uniquely adapted to the harsh conditions of the puna grassland and scrublands. Its robust build helps it navigate the challenging rocky terrain.
Where to spot
High-altitude grasslands (puna), rocky slopes, and open scrublands in the Andes of Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina.
How to spot
Scan the ground carefully in suitable habitats, as their cryptic plumage makes them hard to spot. Their calls are crucial for detection, especially when they are hidden among rocks or sparse vegetation.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, but often more visible in the quiet of the early morning or late afternoon.
