Spotted
The Rusty-collared Seedeater (Sporophila collaris) is a striking species with a prominent rufous collar across the breast, found in open grasslands and marshy areas.
Where to spot
Open grasslands, savannas, and marshy areas in central and eastern South America, including Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Argentina, generally below 1,000 meters.
How to spot
Look for the male's distinct rufous collar and white belly. It often forages on grass seeds, so scan grassy fields. Listen for its distinctive song, which helps with identification.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Males are highly vocal and conspicuous during the breeding season (austral summer).
