Spotted
The Scaled Foliage-gleaner is a Furnariid characterized by a noticeable scaling pattern on its underparts. It's an active bird, often foraging in mixed-species flocks in humid forests.
Where to spot
Found in humid montane and cloud forests from southern Central America (Costa Rica, Panama) to northern South America (Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela).
How to spot
Scan the mid-story of montane forests, often in mixed flocks. Look for the scaled pattern on its belly and listen for its distinctive, often rattling, calls.
When to spot
Active year-round. Most observable during early mornings when foraging is most intense.
The 'scaled' pattern is created by dark feather edges contrasting with paler centers, providing a cryptic camouflage against dappled light in the forest.
