The Straight-billed Woodcreeper is a medium-sized woodcreeper known for its relatively straight and stout bill. It forages by spiraling up tree trunks, probing for insects.
Where to spot
Widespread in humid lowland forests and woodlands across a vast range in South America, including the Amazon basin, the Atlantic Forest, and parts of the Andes.
How to spot
Look for its characteristic spiraling climb up tree trunks. Its medium size and notably straight bill are key field marks. Listen for its distinct, often piping, vocalizations.
When to spot
Active year-round during daylight hours. Often observed foraging from morning to afternoon, sometimes with mixed-species flocks or army ant swarms.

Unlike many woodcreepers with decurved bills, its straight bill allows it to effectively probe into specific types of crevices and under bark flakes.
