The Amazonian Streaked Antwren is a small, subtly marked antwren characterized by fine streaking on its underparts. It inhabits the understory of humid lowland forests, often near water.
Where to spot
Found along major river systems in the Amazon Basin, particularly in Brazil, Peru, and parts of Colombia and Bolivia.
How to spot
Search in the understory of seasonally flooded forests (várzea and igapó) and river islands. Listen for its distinctive high-pitched calls, which are crucial for identification in dense riverine vegetation.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed during early morning foraging activities.
