Russet Antshrike

Discussion thread for Russet Antshrike. If you would like to add a comment, click the Post Reply button.

---------------

In the text, it said that the habitat was open woodland. In two different books I had (Panama and northern SA), both said that the habitat was humid to wet forests, which normally means something quite different. I changed the text to "Humid woodland", but I am willing to go back and change it back if anyone knows better.

I did observe the Russet Antshrike quite regularly along woodland edge bordering wetlands at very low levels in Panama near the Summit Ponds.

Thanks! I changed the text to: Humid to wet woodland and borders in foothils and lower slopes of mountains.

CORRECTION: I am very sorry about the mistake - It was actually Fasciated Antshrike I observed at that location in Panama. Sorry for the confusion, but I saw so many new birds in Panama that I was wrong about th Russet.

thanks for the correction, I deleted the "border" part.
