has a somewhat restricted range. Its population is estimated at between 2500 and 10,000 mature individuals and is believed to be decreasing. Forest clearance for timber and conversion to agriculture and ranching are the principal threats. The "western" barred woodcreeper complex is generally uncommon to common in most of its range, though uncommon at higher elevations and in limited or marginal habitat such as in El Salvador and on the Yucatán Peninsula. The "eastern" barred woodcreeper is "robably among the most threatened of all dendrocolaptids as a result of extensive

It reaches only 800 m (2,600 ft) in Ecuador, but occurs as high as 1,800 m (5,900 ft) in northern Central America, 1,300 m (4,300 ft) in Costa Rica, and 1,200 m (3,900 ft) in Colombia. 594:
The northern barred woodcreeper's breeding season varies geographically, for example at least between May and July in Costa Rica and November to March in Colombia. It nests fairly near the ground in a cavity in a hollow trunk or a natural cavity such as is formed by a broken off branch. It lines the

The northern barred woodcreeper is one of the larger members of its subfamily. It is slim, with a long tail, a medium-length straight bill, and (in the male) a shaggy crest. It is 25 to 29 cm (9.8 to 11 in) long. Males weigh 53 to 72 g (1.9 to 2.5 oz) and females 54 to 83 g

The northern barred woodcreeper mostly sings at dawn and dusk but also intermittently during the day. The song of the "western" three subspecies is a series of loud whistles that rise at the end. It is variously put in words as "téw-wee, téw-wee, téw-weea", a "slightly nasal
