The Streak-headed Thornbird is a medium-sized ovenbird characterized by its streaked crown and a general rufous-brown plumage. It builds large stick nests in various open habitats.
Where to spot
Dry and semi-humid scrub, chaco woodlands, and thorny savannas in central South America. Favors open areas with scattered trees.
How to spot
Look for its characteristic large stick nest, which is often easier to spot than the bird itself. Listen for its loud, somewhat harsh, repetitive calls. Observe it foraging on or near the ground.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active during the daytime, with nesting behavior being most prominent in the breeding season.
