Spotted
The Black-crested Antshrike is a distinctive and common antshrike, named for the prominent black crest on the male's head. It inhabits the canopy and mid-story of tropical forests.
Where to spot
Mid-story and canopy of humid lowland and foothill rainforests, secondary growth, and forest edges, across northern South America, including the Guianas, Venezuela, and northern Brazil.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, often accelerating 'chip-chip-chip-CHIP!' call. Scan the mid-story and canopy, especially looking for mixed-species flocks which they often join.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active in the early morning and late afternoon. Calls can be heard throughout the day.

Males possess an erectile black crest that they can raise when agitated or displaying, making them even more striking to observe.
