Ruddy Woodcreeper

Dendrocincla homochroa

Least Concern

The Ruddy Woodcreeper is a woodcreeper of humid forests in Mexico, Costa Rica, and Belize. 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.
