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.
Agile Tit-tyrant
The Agile Tit-tyrant is a small Andean flycatcher of the Tyrannidae family, weighing about 9 g with a wingspan near 12 cm. It is found in humid montane scrub and forest edges in South America, flitting nimbly through vegetation in search of small insects.
