About These Birds
Ash-breasted Tit-tyrant
The Ash-breasted Tit-tyrant is an Endangered small flycatcher restricted to high-altitude Polylepis forests in the Andes of Peru and Bolivia. Weighing under 10g with a wingspan near 12.7cm, it depends heavily on threatened Polylepis woodland. Habitat destruction has severely reduced its population.
Alder Flycatcher
The Alder Flycatcher is a small North American flycatcher weighing about 13 g with a wingspan near 14 cm. It breeds in alder thickets and wet scrub across Canada and the northern United States, identified primarily by its distinctive fee-BEE-o song rather than its plain olive-grey plumage.
