The Austral Canastero (Asthenes anthoides) is a species of bird in the Furnariidae family, the ovenbirds. It is found in southern Argentina and northern regions of Tierra del Fuego; the range extends northwestwards into southern Chile, as a migration region in the austral winter. In Chile it is mostly a non-breeding bird, except on the eastern border with Argentina, in the Andean cordillera where it is a resident breeder. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry shrubland and temperate grassland. More
