Black-striped Woodcreeper

Xiphorhynchus lachrymosus

Least Concern

The Black-striped Woodcreeper is a woodcreeper of humid forests in Panama, Costa Rica, and Colombia. It hitches up tree trunks and along branches, propped on its stiff tail, probing bark and epiphytes for insects. Fun fact: Woodcreepers prop themselves on stiffened tail feathers to climb tree trunks, much as woodpeckers do.
