Spotted
Temminck's Seedeater is a critically endangered species, characterized by its distinctive bill shape and specific habitat requirements within the Atlantic Forest.
Where to spot
Highly localized and critically endangered within the humid Atlantic Forest of southeastern Brazil and northeastern Argentina, specifically where bamboo is present, generally below 500 meters.
How to spot
Requires immense effort in specific bamboo-rich forest fragments. Learning its song and being patient while scanning bamboo thickets are crucial, as it is often hidden.
When to spot
Year-round resident, but extremely difficult to find due to its rarity and specific habitat. Any sighting is significant.

This species has a unique bill structure, slender and slightly decurved, which is specialized for feeding on particular bamboo seeds. Its reliance on bamboo makes it vulnerable to habitat changes.
