Stout-billed Cinclodes - Cinclodes excelsior
Ecuador
The Stout-billed Cinclodes primarily feeds on invertebrates, but its diet also includes seeds and small vertebrates like frogs. When foraging, it probes and digs for prey in moist soil, mud, and debris. Occasionally, it will also glean food from low vegetation1. These resourceful birds are adept at darting back and forth while chasing prey on the ground, and they often rest on posts, rocks, tussocks, and other exposed perches.
