The Wren-like Rushbird is a small, secretive Furnariid that inhabits dense reedbeds and marsh vegetation. Its movements and vocalizations are reminiscent of a wren, hence its common name.
Where to spot
Widespread in freshwater marshes and reedbeds across South America, from Colombia to Argentina and Chile.
How to spot
Search dense aquatic vegetation in marshes. Listen intently for its distinctive, often explosive, vocalizations. Patience is required as it rarely perches in the open.
When to spot
Active year-round. Most vocal during the breeding season, which can aid in detection.
