Spotted
The White-throated Treerunner is a distinctive Furnariid with a bright white throat and a strong, straight bill. It uses its stiff tail to prop itself as it runs up and down tree trunks, primarily in Chile and Argentina.
Where to spot

How to spot
Search for it on the trunks of large trees in temperate forests. Its distinctive white throat and head-first descending behavior are key identification features. Listen for its sharp, high-pitched calls.
