Piping Long-tailed Woodcreeper

Deconychura typica

Least Concern

The Piping Long-tailed Woodcreeper is a woodcreeper of humid forests in Costa Rica, Panama, and Honduras. 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.
