Bar-winged cinclodes        Images © Mark A. Chappell

Cinclodes are part of the large, diverse 'ovenbird' family (Furnariidae) that is widely distributed across South America.   They are mostly birds of open country; these bar-winged cinclodes were foraging around a farm field in the high Andes.   These were photographed near Cuzco, Peru and in southern Chile.
