The Spot-crowned Woodcreeper is a widespread Furnariid of Central and South America, known for the pale spotting on its crown. It's a typical woodcreeper, often seen climbing trees with its strong claws and stiff tail.
Where to spot
Widespread across Central and South America, inhabiting humid evergreen forests, cloud forests, and forest edges, from lowlands to montane regions.
How to spot
Look for its characteristic climbing behavior on tree trunks and large branches. Listen for its trilling or churring calls, which can help locate it within dense forest canopy.
When to spot
Active year-round, typically during daylight hours, especially vocal and active during the breeding season.
