About These Birds
Blackish Cinclodes
The Blackish Cinclodes is a near-threatened, robust, dark brown cinclodes with blackish-gray upperparts and a pale supercilium, found along rocky and kelp-strewn shorelines. It inhabits the Falkland Islands and the coasts of Tierra del Fuego and the Diego Ramírez Islands, foraging along the shoreline at the water's edge. It feeds on marine invertebrates, insects, and small crustaceans exposed by waves on rocky shores.
