The White-striped Woodcreeper is a medium-sized Furnariid characterized by its distinctive white streaking on a brown body. Like other woodcreepers, it skillfully climbs tree trunks and branches in search of insects.
Where to spot
Found in the Neotropics, primarily in southeastern Brazil, often in humid evergreen forests, woodlands, and forest edges, typically at mid to high elevations.
How to spot
Scan tree trunks and large branches in humid forests. Look for its upward climbing motion and listen for its distinctive, often high-pitched vocalizations. Patience and good binoculars are key.
When to spot
Year-round within its range, with peak activity during the early morning and late afternoon hours.

This woodcreeper often forages by hitching upwards on tree trunks, using its stiff tail feathers as a prop, then flying down to the base of another tree to repeat the process.
