Spotted
The Salinas Monjita is a localized and range-restricted flycatcher found only in specific salt flat habitats of central Argentina. It is primarily grey with a dark eye-stripe.
Where to spot
Endemic to the arid salt flats (salinas) and adjacent dry scrub of central Argentina.
How to spot
Seek it out in its specific salt flat habitat. Its plain grey plumage can make it blend in, but look for its upright perch and characteristic ground-foraging behavior. Its calls are important for identification.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed in the early morning or late afternoon when temperatures are cooler and birds are more active.
This species is highly specialized, almost exclusively inhabiting the arid and saline environments of central Argentina's salt flats, making it a target for specialized birding trips.
