The Sharp-tailed Streamcreeper is a unique Furnariid highly specialized for riparian habitats. It uses its stiff, pointed tail to cling to mossy rocks and logs along swift streams.
Where to spot
Found in mountainous regions of central and eastern South America, preferring the banks of swift-flowing streams and rivers in humid forests.
How to spot
Focus on rocky stream banks and boulders. Look for its distinctive bobbing movements and short flights between rocks. Its dark, cryptic plumage can make it hard to spot against wet rocks, so patience is needed.
When to spot
Active year-round. Most visible during the cooler parts of the day when it's actively foraging.
