Spotted
The Many-colored Rush Tyrant is a small, vibrant songbird with a complex mix of bright yellow, black, white, and rufous plumage, often found in dense reed beds. While its name suggests a tyrant-flycatcher, it's actually an icterid.
Where to spot
Widespread in South America, including Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, and parts of Brazil and Peru. Inhabits freshwater marshes and dense reed beds.
How to spot
Look for its distinctive colorful plumage, particularly in dense reed beds. It can be elusive, so patience and listening for its buzzy, chattering calls are essential. It often perches low on reeds.
When to spot
Year-round resident in many areas, but migratory in southern parts. Best observed during early mornings when birds are actively foraging and singing.
