Spotted
The Scaled Woodcreeper is a visually striking Furnariid with a plumage pattern resembling scales, particularly on its underparts. It shares the characteristic tree-climbing habits of its woodcreeper relatives.
Where to spot
Found in southeastern Brazil and adjacent regions, typically in humid Atlantic Forest habitats, from coastal lowlands up to higher elevations.
How to spot
Watch tree trunks and large branches in well-preserved forest fragments. Its scaling pattern can be a good identification cue. Pay attention to its unique vocalizations.
When to spot
Present throughout the year within its range. Best observed during early morning or late afternoon when foraging activity is highest.

The 'scaled' appearance of its plumage provides excellent camouflage against the textured bark of the trees it forages on, making it blend seamlessly with its environment.
