Wing-banded Hornero

Its natural habitats include a wide range of wooded habitats, especially near water and around mudflats. It feeds on insects, other arthropods, and shelllfish - in short, any prey found by upturning stones and litter - and makes a cup-sized nest in sheltered places with grass and vegetal fibers.

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

Wing-banded Hornero exists in two ranges, separated by 1000 km, each population representing a subspecies. The largest range occurs in Atlantic northeastern and eastern Brazil, the Northeast Region, Brazil and Caatinga, as well as into continental regions inland, (part of the Cerrado). In recent years, this population has expanded southwards at least as far as São Paulo. More
