About These Birds
Amazonian Barred Woodcreeper
The Amazonian Barred Woodcreeper is a substantial furnariid weighing 66 g with a 25.4 cm wingspan, climbing tree trunks in search of insects across Amazonian forests. Its barred brown plumage provides camouflage against bark as it probes crevices with its curved bill.
Black-banded Woodcreeper
The Black-banded Woodcreeper is a robust, brown-streaked bird of the Americas with bold blackish-and-buff barring across its breast and a strong decurved bill for prying insects from bark. It ranges from Mexico south through Central America and across much of South America in humid forests and forest edges. It forages by hitching up tree trunks and branches, probing for beetles, ants, and other invertebrates.
