Berlepsch's Canastero

Asthenes berlepschi

Near Threatened

The Berlepsch's Canastero is a canastero of open scrub and grassland in Bolivia and Peru. It keeps low in grass and scrub, creeping through cover for insects with its tail often cocked. Classified as Near Threatened, it is threatened mainly by the loss and fragmentation of its habitat. Fun fact: The family is named for the horneros, which build sturdy oven-shaped nests out of mud.
