Feeding Habits
Bahia Antwren primarily feeds on insects and likely on spiders. Bahia Antwren forages either alone or with mixed-species flocks, usually from 5 meters up to the canopy. Bahia Antwren employs a foraging technique of gleaning from foliage, along with reaching or lunging at stems, vines, and branches, occasionally using short sallies and hover-gleans.
Habitat
The bahia Antwren is typically found in the mid-storey and canopy layers of restinga woodlands. These habitats are characterized by their low stature and growth on sandy soils, indicating a preference for environments with well-drained substrates and likely a coastal influence due to the nature of restinga ecosystems.
