About These Birds
Berlepsch's Canastero
Berlepsch's Canastero is a near-threatened canastero found in the arid highlands of Bolivia and Argentina, inhabiting rocky grassland and shrubby Andean slopes. It has streaked brown plumage with rufous wing patches and a long, graduated tail. Like other canasteros, it skulks in dense scrub and feeds on insects and seeds.
Amazonian Plain Xenops
The Amazonian Plain Xenops is a small furnariid weighing about 11 g with a 12.5 cm wingspan, clinging to branches and probing bark for insects in Amazonian forest. Its distinctive upturned bill tip helps it lever off bark to expose hidden prey.
