Spotted
The Slender Antbird is a rare and enigmatic antbird, named for its elongated body and tail. Males are predominantly slate-grey, while females are duller with a rufous tinge.
Where to spot
Endemic to specific dry, deciduous forests and caatinga woodland patches in eastern Brazil.
How to spot
Requires specialized local knowledge. Look in arid, scrubby forest undergrowth. Listening for its distinctive, rather monotonous song is crucial for detection.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best sought during the breeding season (roughly November to February) when males are more vocal.
