Narrow-billed Woodcreeper

The Narrow-billed Woodcreeper is a species of bird in the Dendrocolaptinae subfamily. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, Suriname, and Uruguay. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests and dry savanna. As all members of its subfamily, it is a creeping bird which lives on small arthropods and vertebrates it catches under the bark of trees. The woodcreeper nests in cavities, both natural and bird-made. It lays two to three white eggs, brooded jointly by the pair.

The Narrow-billed Woodcreeper is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.

The Narrow-billed Woodcreeper is a resident of deciduous forest and savanna from northeastern Brazil south to central Argentina. A medium sized woodcreeper with a slender decurved bill, the Narrow-billed Woodcreeper has a blackish-brown crown, a bold white supercilium, rufous-brown upperparts, and buffy white underparts with faint brown streaking. There are eight recognized subspecies, each of which varies slightly in the tone of color on the upper parts and the amount of streaking below. More

NARROW-BILLED WOODCREEPER Lepidocolaptes angustirostris Like other woodcreepers, the Narrow-billed lives a woodpeckerish lifestyle, climbing trunks and probing for food amongst the crevices of the bark. Unlike woodpeckers which have a highly-specialised foot design with two toes pointing forwards and two toes pointing backwards (zygodactyl), the woodcreepers have a "normally-shaped" foot (anisodactyl) with three toes forward and one back.

The Narrow-billed Woodcreeper, for instance, occurs in open country and has predominantly white underparts. Other examples of dendrocolaptids with relatively pale plumage are the Scimitar-billed Woodcreeper, the Moustached Woodcreeper, and some subspecies of the Red-billed Scythebill that inhabit predominantly open or semi-open landscapes. Limited data, for a few species, suggest that woodcreepers undergo a single, annual moult that lasts from four to six months. More
