First record of frugivory of the Narrow-billed Woodcreeper (Lepidocolaptes angustirostris)

Abstract

Members of the Furnariidae family generally eat insects and small vertebrates. However, recent reports suggest that they can also eat fruits. Here we present the first record of frugivory of the Narrow-billed Woodcreeper (Lepidocolaptes angustirostris) on Scutia buxifolia, a woody species from the Humid Chaco of Santa Fe province, Argentina, is presented. Ingest was probed by the presence of 12 seeds in the feaces of a specimen.
