Wing-banded Hornero

Furnarius figulus

The band-tailed hornero, wing-banded hornero or tail-banded hornero (Furnarius figulus) is a species of bird in the family Furnariidae, the ovenbirds. It is endemic to Brazil.

Its natural habitats include a wide range of wooded habitats, especially near water and around mudflats. It feeds on insects, other arthropods, and shellfish – in short, any prey found by upturning stones and litter – and makes a cup-sized nest in sheltered places with grass and vegetal fibers.
