Spotted
The Ucayali Spinetail is a Furnariid known for its relatively long, spiny tail feathers. It inhabits humid lowland forests and often forages in dense undergrowth.
Where to spot
Found in humid lowland forests of western Amazonia, specifically in eastern Peru and western Brazil.
How to spot
Look for it in the dense understory and subcanopy of humid forests. Its spiny tail and active foraging movements are key identifiers. Listen for its distinctive, often rattling, calls.
When to spot
Active year-round. Most active during the early morning and late afternoon.
The 'spinetail' refers to the stiffened, pointed shafts of its tail feathers, a common feature in many Furnariids, used to brace against vegetation while climbing and foraging.
