Also Bamboo Antshrike was eventually seen after a long stake-out peering into the vegetation. Leaving the bamboo behind, we walked along the Jeep Trail where we found two cracking birds: Chestnut-capped Puffbird and Scarlet-headed Barbet. As darkness fell, the birding continued and we had great views of a Tawny-bellied Screech-Owl feasting on a huge green grub and we also heard Black-banded Owl calling nearby, but frustratingly were unable to see it.

as Bamboo Antshrike Cymbilaimus sanctaemariae Yet another part of the fascinating story of antbirds is their part in the mixed-species flocks in the Neotropical lowland forests. There are canopy flocks, mid-story flocks, and undergrowth flocks, often composed of 25-50 individuals of 10-30 species. Antwrens are particularly common in the upper-level flocks, and often the 'core' species is an antwren. It is not unusual to have a half-dozen antwren species in a good Amazonian forest flock. More
