The Tyrannine Woodcreeper is a large, imposing woodcreeper known for its preference for foraging high in the canopy, often launching sallies to catch flying insects like a tyrannid flycatcher.
Where to spot
Found in the canopy of humid montane and foothill forests along the Andes, from Venezuela south to Bolivia.
How to spot
Look high in the canopy for a large woodcreeper perching on exposed branches, sallying out to catch insects. Its large size and open-perching habit distinguish it from other woodcreepers.
When to spot
Active year-round during daylight hours. Most active during the morning, often solitary or in pairs.

Its 'tyrannine' behavior refers to its flycatching habit, a less common foraging strategy among woodcreepers, which typically probe bark.
