About These Birds
Blackish Antbird
The Blackish Antbird is a medium-sized antbird with dark blackish-gray plumage in the male, white wing spots, and whitish underparts; females are browner with buff-white streaking. It inhabits the dense undergrowth of humid lowland forests along river margins and forest edges in Amazonia, from Brazil and Bolivia to Colombia and Ecuador. It forages through tangled vegetation for insects, often following army ant swarms.
Bicolored Antvireo
The Bicolored Antvireo is a near-threatened small antbird restricted to foothill and lower montane forests of northwestern Ecuador and the southwest slope of Colombia. Males are grey and white and females are brown with buffy streaking. It forages in pairs in the forest midstory for insects gleaned from leaves and branches.
