Spotted
The Sharp-billed Antwren is a small, inconspicuous antwren named for its slender, pointed bill. It inhabits dense coastal scrub and mangrove edges.
Where to spot
Restricted to coastal scrub and mangrove edge habitats in southeastern Brazil (Rio de Janeiro and Espírito Santo).
How to spot
Search in dense coastal vegetation, particularly near the interface of mangroves and dry scrub. Its shy nature requires patience. Listen for its subtle calls, as it often remains hidden.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed during early morning or late afternoon.
Its specialized bill is likely adapted for probing into crevices and dense vegetation to extract insects, reflecting its unique foraging niche in coastal environments that few other antbirds exploit.
