Spotted
The Tufted Cachalote is a large, sturdy ovenbird characterized by its prominent, often unruly crest. It inhabits open woodlands and dry forests.
Where to spot
Dry chaco and cerrado woodlands, gallery forests, and open scrublands in central South America, primarily Brazil, Bolivia, and Paraguay.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, somewhat harsh calls. Look for its distinctive crest and large size as it forages on the ground or low in trees. It can be quite bold in some areas.
When to spot
Year-round, with more activity during the early morning and late afternoon hours. Breeding season can offer more vocal opportunities.
The species is known for its strong, robust bill, which it uses effectively to probe for insects in bark and rotting wood.
