About These Birds

Black-bellied Wren

The Black-bellied Wren is a secretive, boldly patterned wren of Central American and northwestern South American lowland forests, with its underparts strongly barred black and white. It inhabits the dense undergrowth of humid tropical forests and forest edges from Honduras south to Colombia and Venezuela. It feeds on insects and other invertebrates, skulking in thickets and rarely exposing itself in the open.
