Spotted
The Black-banded Woodcreeper is a large, striking woodcreeper named for its distinct black banding on the breast and underparts. It is a powerful climber of tree trunks.
Where to spot
Found in humid lowland and foothill forests across the Amazon basin in South America, including Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, and Brazil.
How to spot
Look for its large size and prominent black banding as it climbs tree trunks. Listen for its loud, whistling or hooting calls, which are a reliable way to locate it.
When to spot
Active year-round during daylight hours. Often observed foraging in the morning and early afternoon, sometimes associating with army ant swarms.

Its loud, far-carrying calls are a characteristic sound of the Amazonian forest, often heard echoing through the trees.
