Feeding Habits
Bare-crowned Antbird primarily feeds on insects and arthropods. This bird forages on the ground, using a specialized feeding strategy to disturb prey. Adaptations include keen eyesight and quick movements, honing in on food sources typically avoided by other species.
Habitat
Bare-crowned Antbird typically resides in the understory regions of lowland and foothill evergreen forests, as well as areas of secondary growth and regenerating clearings. They favor humid environments characterized by dense vegetation, including thick herbaceous growth and tangled vines, often in swampy or poorly drained areas near stagnant streams. Additionally, bare-crowned Antbird can be found in large forest gaps undergoing regeneration and overgrown plantations of guava and cacao, typically at elevations up to 650 meters and occasionally as high as 1200 meters.
