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.
Allpahuayo Antbird
The Allpahuayo Antbird is a vulnerable antbird weighing about 23 g with a wingspan near 13 cm. It is restricted to white-sand forests in the Peruvian Amazon, a highly specialised habitat type, and forages in dense undergrowth for insects, often following army ant swarms.
