About These Birds
Black-crested Tit-tyrant
The Black-crested Tit-tyrant is a small, long-tailed tyrant flycatcher of Andean scrub and paramo in Peru, with a striking upswept black crest and boldly streaked black-and-white plumage. It inhabits dense montane scrub, polylepis woodland, and high Andean shrublands, typically at elevations between 2,800 and 4,200 meters. It feeds on small insects and spiders, foraging actively in dense low vegetation.
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.
