The Striated Earthcreeper is a Furnariid of high Andean grasslands, named for the subtle streaking on its plumage. It is a terrestrial bird, adapted to foraging in rocky, open environments.
Where to spot
Endemic to the high Andes of Peru and Bolivia, typically found in puna and paramo grasslands and rocky slopes at high elevations.
How to spot
Scan the ground in high-altitude grasslands and rocky areas. Look for its ground-foraging behavior and listen for its calls. Its cryptic plumage blends well with the environment.
When to spot
Active year-round. Best observed during the warmer periods of the day when foraging activity is higher.

This species often forages in areas with sparse vegetation and rocks, where its subtle streaking provides excellent camouflage against the textured ground.
