Line-fronted Canastero
Asthenes urubambensis
Near ThreatenedThe Line-fronted Canastero is a canastero of open scrub and grassland in Peru and Bolivia. 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.
