Spotted
The Yellow Cardinal is a striking and critically endangered species, known for its vibrant yellow plumage and prominent black crest. It is a highly charismatic bird.
Where to spot
Restricted to open woodlands, savannas, and dry scrublands, primarily in central Argentina, with small, fragmented populations in Uruguay and southern Brazil, generally below 1,000 meters.
How to spot
A highly challenging bird to observe in the wild due to its rarity. Focus on specific protected areas where conservation efforts are underway. Look for its bright yellow and black crest. Seek local conservation guides.
When to spot
Year-round resident, but extremely difficult to find due to its critically endangered status and evasive nature.
