Where to spot
Primarily found in South America, particularly in Andean regions or associated open and semi-open habitats within its broader taxonomic context.
How to spot
Listen for its vocalizations at night. Observe its flight patterns against the twilight sky. During the day, search carefully for its well-camouflaged form on the ground or low perches in its preferred habitat.
When to spot
Active at dusk, dawn, and throughout the night when foraging for insects. It is highly camouflaged and difficult to spot during the day.
