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 mid-story and subcanopy of tropical forests.
Where to spot
Mid-story and subcanopy of humid lowland and foothill evergreen forests, secondary growth, and forest edges, across northern Amazonia (e.g., Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia).
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, often accelerating 'chip-chip-chip-CHIP!' call. Scan the mid-story and subcanopy, especially looking for mixed-species flocks. Males raising their crest are a good sign.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active in the early morning and late afternoon. Calls are frequent, especially during the breeding season.
