Wedge-billed Woodcreeper

Glyphorynchus spirurus

Least Concern

The Wedge-billed Woodcreeper is a woodcreeper of humid forests in Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Suriname. 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.
