Apurimac Spinetail

Synallaxis courseni

Near Threatened

The Apurimac Spinetail is a spinetail of scrub and undergrowth in Peru. A small, often rufous-toned bird, it skulks through dense undergrowth and tangles gleaning insects, its tail frequently held cocked. Classified as Near Threatened, it is threatened mainly by the loss and fragmentation of its habitat. Fun fact: The family is named for the horneros, which build sturdy oven-shaped nests out of mud.
