Feeding Habits
Uniform Crake consumes a variety of prey including earthworms, insects, and spiders, as well as small amphibians like frogs, and reptiles such as lizards. It supplements its diet with plant matter, notably seeds and berries. Uniform Crake forages primarily on the ground, employing a methodical hunting technique to locate and capture prey.
Habitat
The uniform Crake primarily inhabits lowland forested swamps, moist and flooded forests, as well as dense vine-tangled thickets near stream edges and ravines. It favors habitats with heavy vegetation such as hanging dead and decaying leaves, notably in Heliconia thickets. While occasionally found at mangrove edges, the uniform Crake can also reside in dense secondary growth adjacent to forests and bordering cultivated land. Its habitat range extends from sea level to elevations of approximately 1000 meters.
