Spotted
The Undulated Antshrike is a formidable and elusive antshrike, characterized by its subtly barred or 'undulated' plumage and a powerful bill. It inhabits the dense understory of Amazonian forests.
Where to spot
Dense undergrowth and vine tangles within humid lowland rainforests across northern Amazonia (e.g., Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, Venezuela).
How to spot
Listen for its deep, resonant 'hoo-hoo-hoo' or 'whup-whup' calls. Remain absolutely still and patient near the source of the call, scanning for subtle movements in the densest parts of the undergrowth.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active in the early morning and late afternoon. Its deep calls are often the only way to detect its presence.
