Despite its emotive name, the Firewood-Gatherer is a rather dull-coloured bird. His common name comes from his habit of gathering sticks for his huge, conspicuous nest. Firewood-Gatherers are most often encountered in semi-arid areas usually near water, being particularly easy to see in the Humid Chaco and Pantanal regions. Upon encountering one of these birds walking purposefully in the grass, Old World birders may notice a distinct resemblance to the larks and pipits with which they are familiar. More
