In the reed-choked wetlands and high Andean marshes of South America, this vibrant sentinel flits low among rushes with restless energy. It hunts insects along water’s edge, darting between stems and perching briefly before plunging back into cover. What makes it extraordinary is its intimate bond with fragile wetlands — thriving only where reeds stand healthy and water flows clean, making it a living indicator of marshland health. A burst of color in muted reeds, yet a vigilant guardian of high-altitude waters.
