Spot-throated Woodcreeper

Certhiasomus stictolaemus

Least Concern

The Spot-throated Woodcreeper is a woodcreeper of humid forests in Brazil, Peru, 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.
