Spotted
Stresemann's Bushcrow is a unique and highly endangered member of the Corvidae family, endemic to a very small region of southern Ethiopia. This ground-dwelling bird has a distinctive, large bill and bare blue skin around its eye.
Where to spot
Critically endangered and restricted to a small range in the acacia and commiphora bushland of southern Ethiopia, particularly around the towns of Yabello and Mega.
How to spot
Requires visiting its specific, limited habitat in Ethiopia. Look for its distinctive large bill, bare blue eye-ring, and brown plumage while it forages on the ground or perches in low trees. Its unique calls can help in detection.
When to spot
Resident year-round, active during daylight hours. Observations are challenging due to its elusive nature and restricted habitat. Dawn and dusk may offer better chances.
