Feeding Habits
Long-billed Woodcreeper predominantly consumes arthropods, along with small reptiles and amphibians. Notable prey includes scorpions, cockroaches, grasshoppers, and katydids. It forages alone or in mixed-species flocks, utilizing its long bill to probe into vegetation, bark, and epiphytes like bromeliads, displaying a possible preference for them. Long-billed Woodcreeper's feeding occurs from mid-levels to the canopy and occasionally on the ground at ant swarms.
Habitat
The long-billed Woodcreeper primarily dwells in lowland forested wetlands, including flooded forests, swamp-forests, and river-edge forests. It shows a preference for habitats in close proximity to water bodies, like lake margins, and is often found in mature forests on river islands. While it mostly inhabits the interior and edges of these forests, it can also be encountered in terra firme forests adjacent to wetter areas and may venture into second growth and gardens near forested regions.
