Spotted
The White-fringed Antwren is a widespread and common antwren, recognizable by the white supercilium and contrasting dark underparts (in males). It prefers open, dry habitats.
Where to spot
Widely distributed in dry woodlands, scrub, and cerrado habitats across much of northern and central South America, including Venezuela, the Guianas, and Brazil.
How to spot
Look in open, dry woodlands, scrubland, and forest edges. It is often quite active and conspicuous, perching on exposed branches. Listen for its loud, rattling song.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed during early mornings when it is most vocal.

This species is known for its bold vocalizations, a distinctive series of sharp, rattling notes, which are often the first indication of its presence in its dry, open habitats, even before it's seen.
