Spotted
The Amazonian Antshrike is a widespread and common antshrike, often a key species in its habitat. Males are predominantly grey, while females have rufous-brown tones.
Where to spot
Dense undergrowth, secondary growth, and forest edges in humid lowland evergreen forests, across much of the Amazon basin and parts of the Guianas.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, accelerating 'chip-chip-chip' or 'whew-whew-whew' calls. Scan the dense understory and low vegetation. Often found in pairs, moving deliberately through the thickets.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active and vocal during the early morning and late afternoon. Calls can be heard throughout the day.
