Spotted
The Ferruginous Antshrike is a striking bird, distinguished by its rusty-red (ferruginous) plumage. It is a secretive inhabitant of the understory of humid Atlantic Forest remnants.
Where to spot
Dense undergrowth of humid lowland and foothill evergreen forests, often near streams or in ravines, endemic to a restricted range in southeastern Brazil.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, distinct 'wheeeeuw-wheeeuw' call. Observe patiently from a distance, scanning the dense foliage and leaf litter. Due to its shyness, a quiet approach is crucial.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active and vocal during the early morning and late afternoon, especially during the breeding season.
This antshrike is notable for its loud, whistling call that carries well through the dense forest, making it easier to locate despite its shy nature.
