Black-headed Berryeater
The Black-headed Berryeater is a near-threatened, medium-sized cotinga with a glossy black head, vivid green upperparts, and yellow-green underparts in the male. It is endemic to the Atlantic Forest of southeastern Brazil, inhabiting the interior of humid lowland and foothill forest, where it is rarely seen. It feeds primarily on berries and fruits in the forest canopy, moving slowly and deliberately.
Amazonian Umbrellabird
The Amazonian Umbrellabird is a large cotinga weighing 477 g with an impressive 51.9 cm wingspan, distinguished by its black umbrella-like crest and long wattled throat pouch used in booming display calls. Males gather at leks to attract females in humid Amazonian forests.
