Plain-brown Woodcreeper
The plain-brown woodcreeper (''Dendrocincla fuliginosa''), is a sub-oscine passerine bird which breeds in the tropical New World from Honduras through South America to northern Argentina, and in Trinidad and Tobago. Sometimes it is considered to include the plain-winged woodcreeper (''D. turdina'') as a subspecies. This woodcreeper is typically 22 cm long, and weighs 37 g. It is drab even by woodcreeper standards. As its name implies, it lacks the streaking shown by most of its relatives, and is plain brown above and below. The bill is longish and straight. The normal call is a loud ''stick'', but when following army ants, the groups keep up a noisy chatter. The song is a descending ''te-te-te-tu-tu-tu-tue-tue-tue-chu-chu-chu''. The plain-brown woodcreeper is an insectivore which feeds on ants and other insects. It feeds low in trees, on the trunk or foliage, but rarely on the ground. It will follow columns of army ants, often in groups of up to a dozen birds. If s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bird Genera
Birds are a group of warm-blooded vertebrates constituting the class Aves (), characterised by feathers, toothless beaked jaws, the laying of hard-shelled eggs, a high metabolic rate, a four-chambered heart, and a strong yet lightweight skeleton. Birds live worldwide and range in size from the bee hummingbird to the ostrich. There are about ten thousand living species, more than half of which are passerine, or "perching" birds. Birds have whose development varies according to species; the only known groups without wings are the extinct moa and elephant birds. Wings, which are modified forelimbs, gave birds the ability to fly, although further evolution has led to the loss of flight in some birds, including ratites, penguins, and diverse endemic island species. The digestive and respiratory systems of birds are also uniquely adapted for flight. Some bird species of aquatic environments, particularly seabirds and some waterbirds, have further evolved for swimming. Bi ...

Ruddy Woodcreeper
The ruddy woodcreeper (''Dendrocincla homochroa'') is a passerine bird which breeds in the tropical New World from southern Mexico to northern Colombia and extreme northern Venezuela. This woodcreeper is typically long and weighs . It is almost entirely rufous, with a paler throat and grey line from the bill to the eye. The bill is longish and straight. The call is a squeaky ''quink'' or loud ''deeah''. The ruddy woodcreeper is found in premontane humid forest in lowlands and foothills up to , and also in adjacent semi-open woodland and clearings. Ruddy woodcreepers feed on spiders and insects. They will follow columns of army ants, sometimes in groups of up to three birds, dropping from saplings to catch prey fleeing the ants. It builds a leaf-lined nest up in a hollow palm tree stump, and lays 2–3 white eggs. Adult birds also sleep alone in tree crevices. Like other woodland birds, this species has been adversely affected by deforestation. For example, in Colombia it i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Plain-winged Woodcreeper
The plain-winged woodcreeper or thrush-like woodcreeper (''Dendrocincla turdina'') is a passerine bird belonging to the woodcreeper group, now classified in the ovenbird family, Furnariidae. It is sometimes considered to be a subspecies of the plain-brown woodcreeper (''D. fuliginosa)'' Diet The plain-winged woodcreeper has a diet that primarily consists of different types of arthropods. The plain-winged woodcreeper is a well-known follower of army ants, generally '' Eciton burchelli'' and occasionally ''Labidus praedator'', using near-vertical perches usually 15 centimeters in diameter and at low to medium heights roughly 2-3 meters above ground when feeding on ants below it. They are less frequently observed using smaller trunks, down to .3 meters or up to 9 meters, when feeding. The plain-winged woodcreeper occasionally gathers prey from surfaces when above an ant colony and prefer to stay closer to the ground and are often seen in foliage, trunks, or other substrates.
