About These Birds
Arequipa Canastero
The Arequipa Canastero is a small furnariid from the arid slopes near Arequipa in southwestern Peru, weighing about 20 grams with a wingspan near 14 cm. It inhabits dry rocky hillsides with sparse vegetation, foraging for insects among stones and low scrub. Its streaked brown plumage provides camouflage against the arid Andean landscape it calls home.
Alagoas Foliage-gleaner
The Alagoas Foliage-gleaner was a medium-sized furnariid bird weighing about 36 g, endemic to the Atlantic Forest of Alagoas, Brazil. It is now classified as extinct, having last been recorded in the 1980s before its forest habitat was almost entirely destroyed by agriculture.
