The Streak-headed Woodcreeper is a widespread and common woodcreeper, named for the prominent streaking on its head. It forages on tree trunks and branches in various forest types.
Where to spot
Widespread in humid and semi-humid forests, woodlands, and plantations from southern Mexico south through Central and South America to northern Argentina.
How to spot
Look for its characteristic spiraling climb up tree trunks. Its streaked head and throat, along with a relatively short, straight bill, are good identifiers. Listen for its high-pitched, often trilling calls.
When to spot
Active year-round during daylight hours. Often observed foraging from morning until late afternoon, frequently with mixed-species flocks.
