Long-tailed Antbird

Ramphocaenus melanurus

The Long-tailed Antbird (Ramphocaenus melanurus) is a small passerine bird found in the Amazon rainforest of South America. It is known for its distinctive long tail, which it uses to navigate through the dense undergrowth in search of insects and small invertebrates. This species is often found in mixed-species foraging flocks, where it can be heard giving its high-pitched calls. The Long-tailed Antbird is known for its secretive behavior, making it a challenging bird to observe in the wild. It is typically found in the lower levels of the forest, where it hunts for prey and builds its nest.
