Spotted
The Rufous-winged Antshrike is a large and powerful antshrike characterized by its conspicuous rufous wing patches. It inhabits dense forest undergrowth and is known for its loud vocalizations.
Where to spot
Dense understory of humid lowland and foothill evergreen forests, often in bamboo thickets or vine tangles, found in southeastern Brazil and adjacent Paraguay and Argentina.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, far-carrying 'ka-ka-ka-ka-KEEH' call. Watch for movements in the dense undergrowth. Patience and a quiet approach are crucial, or strategic use of playback may elicit a response.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most vocal during the early morning and late afternoon, especially during the breeding season.
