Photographed in a Tobago garden where it was attracted by the free fruit on offer.
The species occurs from Mexico in the north, Central America, Trinidad & Tobago and most South American countries.
The tufted antshrike, native to South America, measures approximately 7.5 to 8.5 inches long. It thrives in the dense undergrowth of subtropical and tropical forests, where it feeds on insects and small arthropods. The tufted antshrike searches for prey by gleaning—carefully plucking stationary or slow-moving food items, often while perched or hopping through vegetation. This method, commonly used by birds like warblers, woodpeckers, and antshrikes, allows them to forage effectively in pairs or small family groups.
