About These Birds

Bananal Antbird

The Bananal Antbird is a Near Threatened antbird found in gallery forest and riverine vegetation on Ilha do Bananal and adjacent areas in central Brazil, weighing about 15g with a wingspan of 13.7cm. It forages in pairs or small groups through dense undergrowth for insects and other arthropods. Its restricted range and dependence on riverine forest make it vulnerable to habitat loss.

Alagoas Antwren

The Alagoas Antwren is a critically endangered antbird of northeastern Brazil, weighing about 10 g with a wingspan near 10 cm. It is restricted to very small forest fragments in Alagoas state and faces severe extinction pressure from ongoing deforestation and habitat fragmentation.
