The Stout-billed Cinclodes is a robust Furnariid of the high Andes, named for its thick, strong bill. It is a terrestrial bird, using its bill to probe for food in harsh, rocky terrains.
Where to spot
Found in the high Andes of Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia, typically in puna and paramo grasslands, rocky areas, and shrubland at very high elevations.
How to spot
Scan rocky slopes and sparse grasslands at high altitudes. Its relatively heavy bill and terrestrial foraging are key features. Listen for its loud, characteristic calls.
When to spot
Active year-round. Most active in the morning when foraging for insects.

Its stout bill is an adaptation for digging and probing in the hard, rocky soils of its high-altitude environment, allowing it to extract tough invertebrate prey.
