The Andean Earthcreeper is a hardy Furnariid adapted to the harsh, open environments of the high Andes. It primarily forages on the ground, probing soil and rocks for invertebrates.
Where to spot
Found in the high Andes of South America, typically in puna grasslands, rocky slopes, and semi-arid scrub at very high elevations.
How to spot
Scan open, rocky slopes and short grasslands in the high Andes. Look for its ground-foraging behavior and listen for its distinctive, often trilling calls.
When to spot
Active year-round. Best observed during the warmer parts of the day when foraging for insects.
