Asthenes luizae

Near Threatened

The Cipo Canastero is a canastero of open scrub and grassland in Brazil. 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: Ovenbirds and woodcreepers form one of the most diverse bird families on Earth, with a remarkable variety of nests.
