Endemic to the tepui formations of southern Venezuela, specifically within humid montane forests and cloud forests on these isolated plateaus.
How to spot
Observation requires access to its remote tepui habitat. Look for it foraging on tree trunks and branches in the distinctive cloud forests of these highlands. Its movements are typical of woodcreepers.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Observation is possible during daylight hours, especially when weather conditions on the tepuis are clear.
