  1. The furnarids may be less "sexy" than the antbirds, but in truth they're a remarkable and very diverse family found across all habitats of the Neotropics, a diversity illustrated by incredible names such as palmcreepers, leaftossers, woodhaunters, treerunners, earthcreepers, brushrunners, and even firewood-gatherer!
    I found a pair of these Automolus foliage-gleaners, a genus I have very little experience with, after wandering off a trail on a whim. They were actually quite relaxed and I was able to both get photos and record them, and even with that it took me a while to be sure I had them correctly identified!

The olive-backed foliage-gleaner is a species of bird in the family Furnariidae. It is found in humid forest of most of the Amazon Basin, except in the southeastern part, where the Para foliage-gleaner is found. The two are closely related and were considered conspecific until recently.
