About These Birds

Black-cheeked Ant-tanager

The Black-cheeked Ant-tanager is a Near Threatened species restricted to the Osa Peninsula and adjacent areas of southwestern Costa Rica, with males displaying a red crest, black cheeks, and a rose-red throat. It inhabits the interior of humid lowland forests, where it associates with army ant swarms to capture insects flushed by the ants. Deforestation on the Osa Peninsula poses the main threat to this species.

Black-backed Grosbeak

The Black-backed Grosbeak is a large, striking finch found along forest edges and scrubby montane slopes on the eastern Andes from Colombia to Bolivia and Argentina. Males have a black back and head with golden-yellow underparts and a massive bill. It feeds on seeds, berries, and insects, often foraging in the canopy.
