We spent the morning of Sunday, January 15, 2012, birding along a small tributary (Tapara Creek) of the Amazon below the main confluence of the Ucayali-Marañón Rivers. Brad photographed this pair of river island specialists, Red-and-white Spinetails (Certhiaxis mustelinus), as they perched out in the open. Members of the ovenbird family, their upperparts are rufous, and underparts are white. The black bill is long and slender. Black lores, an all-rufous crown, and lack of a supercilium characterize the species. Certhiaxis spinetails are found along rivers in Amazonia and forage in marsh grasses, bushes, and other vegetation that occur low over water or in marshes on river islands. Temperatures were in the mid-70's on this humid morning with overcast skies.
