The Planalto Woodcreeper is a Neotropical Furnariid found in the drier, more open woodlands of the South American plateau, or 'Planalto'. It primarily forages for insects on tree bark, much like its close relatives.
Where to spot
Inhabits the Planalto region of central and southeastern Brazil, preferring drier woodlands, cerrado, and gallery forests.
How to spot
Search for it creeping up trees in open woodland settings. Its preference for drier habitats can help narrow down locations. Listen for its distinctive calls which can be quite resonant.
When to spot
Observable year-round. Dawn and dusk are often the most active times for foraging and vocalization.

Unlike some woodcreepers that prefer dense, humid forests, the Planalto Woodcreeper is adapted to more seasonal and drier woodland environments, showcasing the adaptability of its genus.
