Least Concern

The Striped Treehunter is a treehunter of humid montane forests in Ecuador, Colombia, and Peru. It clambers through dense understorey and foliage, probing moss and leaf clusters for insects. Fun fact: Many members of this family build extraordinary nests, from mud ovens to huge stick castles and tunnels dug in earth banks.
