The Montane Woodcreeper is a species adapted to high-altitude environments in the Andes. This Furnariid exhibits the classic woodcreeper behavior of spiraling up tree trunks, foraging for invertebrates.
Where to spot
Inhabits montane and cloud forests along the Andes mountain range in South America, typically at high elevations.
How to spot
Focus on the trunks of mossy, epiphyte-laden trees in montane forests. Look for its creeping movement and listen for its distinct calls which often echo through the misty highlands.
When to spot
Can be observed year-round in its Andean habitat, with activity concentrated in the cooler parts of the day, especially morning.

Unlike some lowland woodcreepers, the Montane Woodcreeper is specialized for colder, cloud forest environments, often found at elevations where few other woodcreepers thrive.
