Spotted
The Tufted Tit-Spinetail is a small, energetic ovenbird recognized by its shaggy crest and rufous wing patches. It inhabits shrublands and dry forests of southern South America.
Where to spot
Dry shrublands, open woodlands, and thorny scrub in central Argentina and parts of Chile. Often found in semi-arid environments.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive high-pitched, buzzy calls. Watch for its quick, agile movements as it forages among low bushes and thorny vegetation. It can be quite approachable when feeding.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active during cooler mornings and late afternoons. Less vocal during the non-breeding season.

Its 'tufted' appearance gives it a rather disheveled but charming look, distinguishing it from other tit-spinetails in its range.
