Overview

The brown cacholote (Pseudoseisura lophotes) is a medium-sized bird of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It was described by Ludwig Reichenbach in 1853, with its subspecies, argentina, described in 1960 by Kenneth Carroll Parkes. It is nonmigratory, and is found in the forests and parks of Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay. Unlike many other birds, the brown cacholote builds large, pitcher-like nests year-round, each weighing many times more than the bird itself.
