The Bamboo Antshrike is a distinctive and localized antshrike, strongly associated with bamboo thickets. It has a striking striped plumage and a unique, deep call.
Where to spot
Dense stands of Guadua bamboo within lowland and foothill humid evergreen forests, found in a fragmented range in western Amazonia (Peru, Bolivia, Brazil).
How to spot
Focus on mature bamboo groves and listen for its deep, resonant hooting or 'whup-whup' call. Scan the bamboo stalks and foliage carefully, as it can be hidden within the dense growth. Patience is essential.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active during the early morning, often calling from within bamboo stands.
