About These Birds

Black-faced Apalis

The Black-faced Apalis is a small, slim warbler-like bird with gray upperparts, white underparts, and a distinctive black mask across the face and throat. It is restricted to montane forests of the Albertine Rift in east-central Africa, inhabiting dense vegetation at elevations from 1,500 to 3,000 meters. It forages actively through the canopy and understory, gleaning small insects and invertebrates from leaves and branches.

Annam Prinia

The Annam Prinia is a small warbler-like bird in the Cisticolidae family, weighing around 15 grams. Found in the Annam region, this passerine inhabits dense scrub and grassland edges. Its compact size and secretive habits make it a challenging bird to observe in the field.
