The Striped Woodhaunter is a distinctive ovenbird characterized by its heavily streaked plumage, particularly on the head and underparts. It is a denizen of humid lowland forests.
Where to spot
Tropical and subtropical lowland forests, especially near watercourses, across various parts of South America. Look in the dense understory and mid-story.
How to spot
Listen for its characteristic, often sharp calls. Focus on dense areas of the forest understory, scanning for subtle movements as it methodically searches for insects among leaves and bark.
When to spot
Year-round, primarily during the cooler parts of the day, such as early morning and late afternoon. Less active during midday heat.

Despite its somewhat nondescript appearance, its foraging technique is quite active, often involving rapid movements and gleaning prey from various substrates within dense vegetation.
