Spotted
The Curve-billed Scythebill is a distinctive woodcreeper with a long, strongly decurved bill. It uses this specialized bill to probe into crevices and epiphytes for insects.
Where to spot
Widespread 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 characteristic climbing motion and its long, prominent decurved bill. Its distinctive vocalizations, often a rapid series of notes, are also a good clue.
When to spot
Active year-round during daylight hours. Often observed foraging in the mid-story and canopy from morning to afternoon.

Its bill shape is highly adapted for extracting prey from otherwise inaccessible places, such as deep within bromeliads.
