The White-throated Cachalote is a large, ground-dwelling ovenbird distinguished by its contrasting white throat. It prefers open, thorny habitats.
Where to spot
Dry scrub, thorny woodlands, and arid chaco regions in central South America, particularly Bolivia and Argentina.
How to spot
Look for its distinctive white throat and listen for its chattering calls. It typically forages on or near the ground, often in dense, thorny thickets.
When to spot
Year-round. Like most ovenbirds, it's more active during the cooler parts of the day: early morning and late afternoon.
