Spotted
The Glossy Antshrike is a striking bird with a distinct, often glossy appearance, especially in the male's dark plumage. It is a denizen of the mid-story and subcanopy of humid Amazonian forests.
Where to spot
Mid-story and subcanopy of humid lowland rainforests, particularly in seasonally flooded forests and riverine areas, across western Amazonia (e.g., Peru, Brazil, Bolivia).
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive calls, which can vary in pace and pitch. Scan the mid-levels of the forest. They can be part of mixed-species flocks.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active in the early morning and late afternoon, often calling from within the foliage.
