Tapajos Scythebill

Campylorhamphus probatus

Least Concern

The Tapajos Scythebill is a scythebill of humid forests in Brazil. It climbs tree trunks propped on its stiff tail, using its long curved bill to probe bromeliads and bark crevices for insects. Fun fact: Woodcreepers prop themselves on stiffened tail feathers to climb tree trunks, much as woodpeckers do.
