The Rufous-capped Spinetail is a shy little bird that<br />

inhabits thick, low-growing herbaceous secondary<br />

wood and brushland, never venturing out into the open.<br />

Little is known of its biology other than that it feeds<br />

on insects and other invertebrates. It lives in pairs and<br />

forages among the tangled foliage of shrubs, tree shoots<br />

and vines. This spinetail will sometimes mingle with<br />

other birds and form mixed flocks. It only takes to flight<br />

if really necessary, flying low into the nearest thicket.<br />

Difficult to spot, this bird is not wi<strong>de</strong>ly known. In<br />

general, its presence is only noted through its simple<br />

call, which is coarse and repeated – hence its popular<br />

Brazilian name pichororé.<br />

Points of interest about the species in the Mar and<br />

Pa ranapiacaba mountain ranges • common; can be<br />

seen on the forest edge and along trails.<br />
