About These Birds
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.
Bay-vented Cotinga
The Bay-vented Cotinga is a near-threatened, little-known cotinga restricted to humid elfin forests on ridges in Ecuador and northern Peru. It is a plump bird with dark plumage and a distinctive rufous-chestnut vent. It feeds on fruit in the high-altitude forest canopy, and its rarity and restricted range make it vulnerable to habitat disturbance.
