The Scimitar-billed Woodcreeper is unusual for the subfamily in living in highly arid and open habitats, and in being predominately a ground forager. The woodcreepers are generally forest birds of Central and South America. Most species occur in rainforests, with the centre of diversity of the subfamily being the Amazon Basin. More

SCIMITAR-BILLED WOODCREEPER Drymornis bridgesii CHACO Unique is the only word, for this weird-looking woodcreeper. In fact woodcreeper is a bit of a misnomer. Though he does occasionally creep, you are far more likely to see him hopping around on the ground, using his long bill to select the tastiest morsels from amongst the vegetation.

Scimitar-billed Woodcreeper (Drymornis bridgesii), retains many morphological characters, especially those of the limb muscles, that are primitive among woodcreepers (see Morphology). DNA-DNA hybridization data, coupled with phylogenetic analyses of various morphological and molecular characters, consistently yield results suggesting that all dendrocolaptid genera are monophyletic to the exclusion of furnariids. In contrast, the Furnariidae appear not to be monophyletic with respect to woodcreepers. More
