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.

Acadian Flycatcher

The Acadian Flycatcher weighs about 13g and breeds in eastern North American forest ravines. It is identified by its sharp 'peet-sa' call and olive-green upperparts.
