The Sharp-tailed Streamcreeper is a unique and specialized flycatcher, named for its sharp, pointed tail and its habit of foraging along streams. It prefers forest edges near water.
Where to spot
Found in scattered populations across southeastern Brazil and northeastern Argentina, strictly associated with rocky, fast-flowing streams in humid forests.
How to spot
Look for its sharp, pointed tail and preference for streamsides. It is an active bird, making quick, jerky movements. Patience is required to spot it among the rocks and rushing water.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active during daylight hours, especially in the mornings, along its preferred stream habitats.

It often perches on rocks or low branches near fast-flowing streams, making quick dashes to pick insects from the water surface or streamside vegetation, much like a tiny dipper.
