Olivaceous Woodcreeper

Sittasomus griseicapillus

Least Concern

The Olivaceous Woodcreeper is a woodcreeper of humid forests in Brazil, Mexico, and Costa Rica. 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.
