Spotted
The Spotted-crowned Woodcreeper is a medium-sized woodcreeper notable for its finely spotted crown. It forages on tree trunks in humid montane forests.
Where to spot
Inhabits humid montane and foothill forests along the Andes, from Venezuela south to Bolivia, and also in Central America.
How to spot
Look for its characteristic climbing motion and the fine spotting on its crown, though often better seen in good light. Listen for its distinct, often rapid, vocalizations.
When to spot
Active year-round during daylight hours. Often observed foraging from morning until late afternoon, sometimes with mixed-species flocks.

The subtle spotting on its crown gives it its name, but it is often its rich rufous coloration and fine streaking on the back that are more noticeable.
