Feeding Habits
Scalloped Woodcreeper primarily consumes insects, with a diet heavily based on caterpillars. Scalloped Woodcreeper forages alone or with a partner, participating in mixed-species flocks. It hunts by creeping on trunks and branches, focusing on mid-level to canopy areas, and extracts prey from epiphytes, bromeliads, and bark crevices.
Habitat
The scalloped Woodcreeper is commonly found in the humid Atlantic Forest, extending from lowland regions into the nearby mountains, including the drier Planalto Forest to the west. Its preferred habitats are montane evergreen forests and rainforests on the Atlantic slope, with a presence in southern Araucaria forests and, to a lesser extent, semi-deciduous forests in the southwest. It typically inhabits the interior of mature forests, older secondary growths, and forest edges.
