Its typical habitats are rocky hillsides, rocky outcrops and ravines at altitudes between 1,300 and 4,300 m (4,300 and 14,100 ft), but it is more frequently occurs above 2,300 m (7,500 ft).
Species Status
The straight-billed earthcreeper has a very wide range in Bolivia, southern Peru, northern and central Chile and northwestern Argentina. It is a fairly common bird and despite the fact that the population appears to be declining, this is not happening at such a fast rate as to make it vulnerable, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed its conservation status as being of least concern.
