The Dark-faced Miner is a terrestrial bird of open, often windy, habitats in the far south of South America. It is characterized by its somewhat darker facial mask compared to other miners.
Where to spot
Found in open grasslands, steppes, and semi-arid scrublands in southern Argentina and southern Chile, including Tierra del Fuego.
How to spot
Look for it walking and running on the ground in open areas. Its darker face, while subtle, is a key identification feature. Listen for its distinctive song.
When to spot
Active year-round, primarily during the day. Can be observed foraging throughout the day in its open habitat.
