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.
Blackish-headed Spinetail
The Blackish-headed Spinetail is a vulnerable, secretive spinetail with dark gray-black head plumage, rufous-brown upperparts, and a long, loose-textured rufous tail. It inhabits dense humid forest undergrowth and thickets in southwestern Ecuador and northwestern Peru, often in arid to semi-humid areas. It forages furtively close to the ground, creeping through dense tangles for insects and small invertebrates.
