Spotted
The Lesser Woodcreeper is a relatively small, inconspicuous woodcreeper characterized by fine streaking on its head and back. It forages by spiraling up tree trunks in humid forests.
Where to spot
Widespread in humid lowland and foothill forests across a large part of South America, including the Amazon basin and parts of the Andes.
How to spot
Look for its characteristic spiraling climb up tree trunks. Its small size, relatively short bill, and subtle streaking are good field marks. Listen for its high-pitched calls.
When to spot
Active year-round during daylight hours. Often observed foraging from morning until late afternoon, frequently with mixed-species flocks.

Despite its 'lesser' name, it is a highly adaptable forager, able to find insects in various bark crevices and epiphytes.
