The Barred Antshrike is a widespread and common antshrike, easily recognized by its distinctive black and white barring (males) and rufous-brown plumage (females). It inhabits diverse tropical habitats.
Where to spot
Forest edges, secondary growth, scrublands, plantations, and dense thickets, found across much of Central and South America, from Mexico to northern Argentina.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, accelerating 'quip-quip-quip-quiiiiiiip' song or its various chattering calls. Scan dense tangles and low branches. Often seen in pairs, moving deliberately through the vegetation.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active and vocal during the early morning and late afternoon. Calls can be heard throughout the day, especially during the breeding season.
