The Black-crowned Antshrike is a widespread and common antshrike, named for the prominent black crown on the male. It inhabits the mid-story and understory of tropical forests.
Where to spot
Humid lowland and foothill forests, secondary growth, and forest edges, across much of Central America and northern South America, from Honduras to Venezuela and Ecuador.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, accelerating 'chip-chip-chip-CHIP!' call. Scan the mid-story and understory, particularly in areas with dense tangles. They can be quite responsive to playback.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active and vocal during the early morning and late afternoon. Calls can be heard throughout the day.
