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.
Apurimac Spinetail
The Apurimac Spinetail is a near-threatened furnariid from Peru's Apurimac valley, weighing about 16 grams with a wingspan near 12 cm. It inhabits dense scrub and bamboo thickets at mid-elevations in the Andes. Like other spinetails, it creeps through tangled vegetation probing for insects and small invertebrates.
