The White-scaled Piculet is a tiny woodpecker, characterized by its distinct white scaling pattern on its underparts, created by dark feather edges and white centers. It is an active and agile bird, often seen spiraling up tree trunks and branches in search of insects.
Where to spot
Found in a variety of wooded habitats, including dry forests, deciduous forests, and shrublands, across parts of Brazil and Bolivia.
How to spot
Look for its very small size and active foraging behavior on small branches and bamboo. Listen for its soft, high-pitched calls or gentle tapping sounds. Binoculars are essential for close-up views of its intricate plumage.
When to spot
Active year-round. Most active in the early morning. Vocal activity may increase during the breeding season.
