The Black Antshrike is a striking species with males being almost entirely glossy black. It is a resident of dense humid forests in the Guianas and northern Brazil.
Where to spot
Dense undergrowth of humid lowland rainforests, often in areas with thick vine tangles or bamboo, across the Guianas and northern Amazonian Brazil.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, accelerating 'tew-tew-tew-tew' call. Scan the dense understory for movement. Males can be conspicuous when vocalizing, despite their dark plumage.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active and vocal during the early morning and late afternoon. Calls are frequent, especially during the breeding season.
