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 />
