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 . This Woodcreeper is a common and widespread forest bird which builds a leaf-lined nest in a Palm Tree stump; 2-3 white eggs are laid. Plain-brown Woodcreeper is typically 22cm long, and weighs 37g. 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. Plain-brown Woodcreeper is an Insectivore which feeds on Ant s and other Insect s. It feeds low in trees, on the trunk or foliage, but rarely on the ground. It will follow columns of Army Ant s, often in groups of up to a dozen birds. If specialist ant feeders like Antbird s or larger woodcreepers are present, it tends to keep higher than those species. The normal call is a loud ''stick'', but when feeding on 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''. REFERENCES |
