Closely watched by one of its parents, a young Austral Canastero, Asthenes anthoides, learns its way around a thorny world in the Patagonian steppe in Magallanes, Chile. Members of one of the largest songbird families, Furnariidae, Canasteros (genus Asthenes) are typical "Little Brown Jobs" that constitute an identification challenge and a substantial part of any birding trip in South America.
Vigilado de cerca por uno de sus padres, un joven Canastero Austral, Asthenes anthoides, aprende a conocer su espinoso mundo en la estepa patagónica en Magallanes, Chile. Miembros de una de las familias de aves canoras más grande, Furnariidae, los Canasteros son típicos "pequeños pájaros café" que representan un desafío de identificación y son parte importante de cualquier excursión de observación de aves en Sudamérica.
