Spix's Woodcreeper is a medium-sized woodcreeper with subtle streaking on its head and breast. It forages by spiraling up tree trunks in humid forests, searching for insects.
Where to spot
Endemic to the humid lowland forests of the central Amazon basin in Brazil, primarily south of the Amazon River.
How to spot
Look for its characteristic climbing motion on tree trunks. Its subtle streaking and relatively short, straight bill are key field marks. Listen for its distinct, often descending, calls.
When to spot
Active year-round during daylight hours. Often observed foraging from morning until late afternoon, frequently with mixed-species flocks.
