The rufous-browed peppershrike (Cyclarhis gujanensis) is associated to woodland and forest edges. In this study the density of this bird species was compared in two types of forest habitats in the Godoy State Park, northern Paraná, southern Brazil. The first habitat was close to clearings and the other was in the forest interior. The transect method and the Distance 6.0 software were used to obtained the density of the rufous-browed peppershrike. The density was higher in the habitat close to clerarings (14.88 individuals/km2) than in the forest interior (2.51 individuals/km2; Teste G = 9,47, gl = 1, P < 0.01). The high density in clearings suggest that this bird can be favor with forest fragmentation and that its population increase could be used as a biological indicator of disturbed areas.
