Description
The canebrake groundcreeper is 20 to 22 cm (7.9 to 8.7 in) long and weighs 52 to 54 g (1.8 to 1.9 oz). It is a largish
Distribution and habitat
The canebrake groundcreeper is found in southeastern Brazil from São Paulo state south into Rio Grande do Sul and in northeastern Argentina's Misiones Province. There are also fairly old records and reports of single birds in eastern Paraguay but apparently no permanent residents. It inhabits montane and tropical lowland evergreen forest, where it favors hilly terrain and the forest edge and secondary forest. It tends to be near watercourses and frequents bamboo thickets and dense understory along them. In elevation it ranges from near sea level to 1,200 m (3,900 ft).[4][5][6]
Behavior
Movement
The canebrake groundcreeper is a year-round resident through most its range, but apparently transient in Paraguay.[4]
Feeding
The canebrake groundcreeper's diet and foraging technique are largely unknown. It is usually seen in pairs in dense undergrowth, and is assumed to glean arthropod prey on or near the ground.[4]
Breeding
Nothing is known about the canebrake groundcreeper's breeding biology.[4]
Vocalization
The canebrake groundcreeper's song is a "[s]hort to long series of loud staccato 'chet' notes, often interspersed with harsh chatters".[5]
