Spotted
The Mouse-colored Antshrike is a small, rather drab antshrike, uniformly grey or brown, earning its name from its mouse-like appearance. It inhabits the understory of humid Amazonian forests.
Where to spot
Dense undergrowth of humid lowland rainforests, particularly in bamboo thickets or vine tangles, across much of Amazonia and the Guianas.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, accelerating 'whip-whip-whip-WHIP!' song. Scan the dense undergrowth and low vegetation. Patience is key, as they are often hard to see.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active and vocal in the early morning and late afternoon. Can be found throughout the day foraging in dense cover.
