The Wedge-billed Woodcreeper is a small and distinctive woodcreeper named for its short, wedge-shaped bill. It is highly agile, using its bill to pry open bark and crevices for insects.
Where to spot
Widespread in humid lowland and foothill forests from southern Mexico south through Central and South America to Bolivia and Brazil.
How to spot
Look for its characteristic spiraling climb up tree trunks. Its small size, short bill, and distinctive high-pitched calls are excellent identifiers.
When to spot
Active year-round during daylight hours. Often observed foraging from morning until late afternoon, frequently with mixed-species flocks.

Its unique bill shape allows it to exploit a niche of foraging by prying apart bark and bromeliads more effectively than other woodcreepers.
