About These Birds
Black Flowerpiercer
The Black Flowerpiercer is a small, entirely matte-black bird with a distinctively sharply hooked and upturned bill used to pierce the base of flowers and steal nectar. It inhabits high-altitude cloud forests, páramo scrub, and forest edges in the Andes of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia, typically above 2,000 meters. It also catches small insects, making it a nectar thief rather than a pollinator.
Ash-breasted Sierra-finch
The Ash-breasted Sierra-finch is a highland finch found in Andean grasslands and shrublands from Peru to Argentina. Weighing around 14.7g with a wingspan of about 14.8cm, it has ash-grey underparts and brown-streaked upperparts. It feeds on seeds and insects in open mountain habitats.
