Curve-billed Scythebill

Campylorhamphus procurvoides

Least Concern

The Curve-billed Scythebill is a scythebill of humid forests in Brazil, Colombia, and French Guiana. It climbs tree trunks propped on its stiff tail, using its long curved bill to probe bromeliads and bark crevices for insects. Fun fact: Woodcreepers prop themselves on stiffened tail feathers to climb tree trunks, much as woodpeckers do.
