Whistling Long-tailed Woodcreeper

Deconychura longicauda

Least Concern

The Whistling Long-tailed Woodcreeper is a woodcreeper of humid forests in Brazil, French Guiana, 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.
