The Rusty-fronted Canastero is a distinctive ovenbird characterized by its rufous forehead and supercilium. It inhabits the high-elevation shrublands of the Peruvian Andes.
Where to spot
Found in the Andes of central and southern Peru, inhabiting high-altitude scrub, puna grassland, and rocky slopes with scattered shrubs, typically between 3,000 and 4,600 meters.
How to spot
Search for it moving quickly through dense, low vegetation. Look for the rufous forehead and streaked underparts. Its calls, though not overly loud, can also help locate it.
When to spot
Most active during daylight hours, especially in the mornings. Its calls may be more frequent during the breeding season.
