The Ruddy Treerunner is a striking ovenbird characterized by its rich rufous plumage, contrasting with a streaked crown. It is a highly active inhabitant of humid montane and cloud forests.
Where to spot
Humid montane forests and cloud forests across the Andes, from Venezuela to Bolivia. It primarily forages on tree trunks and larger branches.
How to spot
Watch for it climbing rapidly up tree trunks and branches, probing into crevices for insects. Listen for its high-pitched, often accelerating trills that give away its presence.
When to spot
Active throughout the year, especially during cooler parts of the day. More vocal during the breeding season.

Like other treerunners, it uses its stiff, pointed tail feathers as a prop while climbing trees, a specialized adaptation for its arboreal foraging strategy.
