The Streak-crowned Canastero is a small ovenbird with a distinctive streaked crown and a generally brownish plumage. It is a common resident of dry scrub and grasslands.
Where to spot
Dry grasslands, semi-arid scrub, and open woodlands in central South America, particularly in Argentina and Bolivia. Prefers open, dry habitats.
How to spot
Its streaked crown is a good field mark. Listen for its high-pitched, often trilling calls. Look for it foraging on the ground or low in bushes, often running quickly between cover.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active during the daytime, especially when foraging. Its calls are more prominent during the breeding season.
