Two pictures of the black-banded woodcreeper made by Foek Chin Joe in Suriname near Zanderij airport in October 2006. The black banding on the belly can be seen in the upper picture. It is common in the rainforest. It follows army-ants, to eat the insects they disturb. The hard curved ends of the shafts of the tail feathers help to support the bird while climbing as can be noticed in the photo above. Foek Chin Joe recorded this sound on the Brownsberg
Each small square indicates the observation of at least one (group) of these birds, the medium ones at least 4 observations on different days and the largest ones 10 or more. The color of each square indicates: blue for coastal area, yellow for savanna and red for rainforest.
