Atlantic Plain-Xenops

Xenops minutus

Least Concern

The Atlantic Plain-Xenops is a plain-xenops of humid forests in Brazil, Colombia, and Costa Rica. It works along thin twigs and vines, often hanging at odd angles to probe bark and stems for insects. Fun fact: Many members of this family build extraordinary nests, from mud ovens to huge stick castles and tunnels dug in earth banks.
